While most fans like him, there may be some players who want to tell David Stearns that he is not their boss right now and he is not that big. Stearns tend to quickly eliminate players as needed. Sometimes, it is not always guaranteed based on statistics alone. The looming New York Mets' roster decision will prove all of this unfair.
Rico Garcia has now thrown 7.2 innings while allowing 2 hits without a walk. He sported eight of his short 4 games, throwing 21-35 balls in all outings that stretched to 2 innings in 3 of them. Those dazzling numbers may only impress another team. The Mets are a trade deadline for a deadline, from the time they were forced to go to him, in the words of David Stearns, plus a higher ceiling guy.
Despite the 0.00 era
The Mets were cut off by the Mets after two scoring appearances, then the New York Yankees competed in a game, and Garcia returned to Queens after the Bronx Bombers appearance. He's always great
A simpler team, perhaps less eager to win a championship, might try to find a way to keep Garcia alive. A 30-year-old traveler signed with a minor league deal in the offseason, and the Mets were out of necessity. Now, we are in the exact opposite situation.
The Mets didn’t have the luxury of picking Garcia as a minor league if they first walked through the waiver. He went to the Yankees last time and was successfully ignored by everyone in the national league, and then everyone's record was worse than the Yankees in the American league. The opposite happened when the Yankees cut him down and the Al team let him go, and then he kept it all the way to the Mets. In both instances, the sample size is smaller. Now, with more impressive results, someone might want to take him away.
This is part of the 2025 baseball game. You can't do this alone. The sport is becoming more and more like football without a unique quarterback to identify each team. Your 40-man lineup is literal, with multiple other minor leaguers adding a few snapshots in the process.
Garcia should stay, but unless someone gets hurt first, they choose to lower the huascar brazoban, which is too tight. Even if Brazoban is the relegated person and Garcia stays, the Mets will carry a roster with a reliefist Reed Garrett with available minor league options. Gregory Soto's increase is likely to lead to the team's second entry into DFA Jose Castillo this year. Garcia's presence will be determined by Thursday's trade deadline.
