Blue Jays Release Miguel Batista

By Max Fogle | May 21, 2013 at 4:10pm CDT

The Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate announced the release of Miguel Batista, according to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet (on Twitter). The 42-year-old right-hander had signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays back in April.  Batista struggled to establish himself in Triple-A Buffalo however, pitching to an 8.36 ERA with 5.5 K/9 and 5.1 BB/9 over 28 innings.  

In 2012, Batista posted a 4.61 ERA, 6.2 K/9 and 5.2 BB/9 in 52 and 2/3 innings with both the Braves and the Mets.   The 18-year veteran was hoping to return to Toronto after last pitching for the club in the 2004 and 2005 seasons.  Batista owns a career 4.48 ERA with 5.8 K/9 and 4.1 BB/9 over 1956 and 1/3 innings.

Mets Closing In On Reliever?

By Tim Dierkes | December 6, 2011 at 7:08pm CDT

The latest on the Mets's search for bullpen help, with the newest updates on top…

  • Rauch and the Mets had "good talks" today and are making progress, tweets Rubin.
  • The Mets have a list of about 11 attainable relievers, says Adam Rubin of ESPN New York. Rubin adds Octavio Dotel and Jason Isringhausen to the names mentioned below.
  • Jose Reyes' agent met with the Mets about other clients such as Endy Chavez, Cesar Izturis, and Ronny Cedeno, which was described as "a little awkward."
  • Joel Sherman of the New York Post is getting a strong feeling the Mets are closing in on a late-inning relief type, other than Francisco Cordero.  Andy Martino of the New York Daily News hears the same, and says to think Frank Francisco, Jon Rauch, and Brad Lidge types.  Martino thinks a deal could happen tonight.  Alderson told reporters the Mets are more likely to sign two lesser-priced relievers than one expensive guy.  
  • The Mets will probably send someone to see Joel Zumaya throw next week, tweets Sherman.
  • Alderson will meet with Scott Boras today, though he told reporters Francisco Rodriguez is unlikely.
  • The Mets' five or so top prospects will not be traded, Alderson told reporters including Rubin.
  • The Mets have interest in bringing 40-year-old righty Miguel Batista back, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.
