The Mets made some more camp cuts as Opening Day approaches, as and were among those who reported that right-handers and , left-hander , utilityman , and catcher wont be making the team. The five players were all in camp on minor league contracts, and Urenas deal contained that he wont be exercising, as Urena will remain in the Mets organization and pitch at Triple-A. Urena inked his minors deal le s than a month ago, and he has been rocked for a 19.29 ERA over three Grapefruit League appearances (2 1/3 total innings). Its fair to a Jaden Shackelford Jersey sume that Urena gue sed there might not be much of a market for his services if he re-entered free agency, so hell stick with the Mets and try to regain his form in the minors. A veteran of 10 MLB seasons, Urena has worked primarily as a starting pitcher but operated in a swingman capacity with the Rangers last year, starting nine of his 33 appearances. The righty had a solid 3.80 ERA over 109 innings for Texas, with his typical strong grounder rate (50.1%). Urena is a groundball specialist who rarely mi ses any bats, and he has had some i sues in preventing home runs when batters are able to square up on his offerings. Having an experienced swingman at Triple-A gives New York a helpful depth option to call upon in the event of an injury within either the rotation or the bullpen. Urenas deal also has standard opt-out dates on May 1 and June 1, so hell have a couple more chances in the near future to evaluate his status with the Mets. In other Amazins news, left-hander and righties and were all told theyd be breaking camp for Opening Day as part of the Mets bullpen. There wasnt too much drama in these decisions, and the fact that Young and Butto are both out of minor league options mightve added to their cause. CeeDee Lamb Jersey
