Yet another small move for the Mets: a waiver claim of right-hander Antonio Santos, a 25-year-old who appeared in 10 games for the Rockies over the past two seasons. He throws in the mid-90s, has four pitches and had mostly been a starter until last season.

The 25-year-old has thrown 17.1 big league innings across 2020 and 2021. This year in 7 games he posted a 4.76 ERA across 11.1 IP. He averaged 95.5 MPH on his fastball and also has a slider, curve and change pic.twitter.com/dqe0xzsetG
Another guy who will throw about three or four garbage innings and then be DFA'ed.

Santos is filler until proven otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI notice that the Mets are grabbing guys that fit an analytical ideology, but haven’t been successful yet. Moneyball? Or Rays tactics?
