Player Review: Ariel Jurado
2020 Stats: 1 Start, 4.0 Innings Pitched, 0-0 Won-Loss Record, 11.25 ERA, 2.25 WHIP, 2:0 K:BB Ratio, -0.2 WAR
Story: Ariel Jurado began 2020 in the same organization he had spent the past two seasons with, the Texas Rangers. After failing to make the big club out of summer camp, Jurado was designated for assignment on July 31 to clear his spot on the 40-man roster. Texas ended up dealing Jurado to the Mets on August 5, landing relief pitching prospect Stephen Villines and cash considerations. New York viewed Jurado as a depth starter and assigned him to their alternate site. That depth would be needed on September 1, when Jurado was recalled to start against the Baltimore Orioles. The outing was a disaster as Jurado was pounded by the Orioles, giving up five runs in four innings of work. Despite somehow not receiving the loss, Jurado was demoted back to the Mets’ alternate site, where he would spend the rest of the season.

Some of these guys are just not worth reviewing, IMO.
