Mets Claim Kevin Herget From Brewers

By Darragh McDonald and Nick Deeds | November 4, 2024 at 1:06pm CDT

The Mets have claimed right-hander Kevin Herget off waivers from the Brewers, per a report from Robert Murray of FanSided. There had been no prior indication that Herget was designated for assignment, though with today’s deadline to activate players from the 60-day injured list plenty of 40-man roster movement is to be expected around the league.

Herget, 34 in April, signed a minor league deal with the Brewers last offseason after being cut loose by the Reds. He went on to get a limited amount of big league action in the majors in 2024, tossing 11 1/3 innings for Milwaukee with two earned runs allowed. In Triple-A, he had a larger sample of work, posting a 2.27 earned run average in 47 2/3 innings. He struck out 32.4% of batters faced at that level while only giving out walks 6% of the time.

The Mets were apparently intrigued by those strong numbers, grabbing Herget off waivers today. The Mets just lost Brooks Raley, Adam Ottavino, Ryne Stanek and Drew Smith to free agency so they have filled in some lost bullpen depth with this claim. Despite his age, Herget is still in his pre-arbitration years and is therefore cheap and can potentially be controlled for years to come.

    What do you know. Stearns is supposed to be a veteran front office guy. Yet only feels comfortable taking scrap from the brewers. Pathetic. If he made real moves at deadline, perhaps Mets would have a WS team by now

    I believe that Sterns is picking up Devenski, Covey and Hergert as bodies to throw to the zombies in a zombie Apocalypse.
