2019 Mets Roster Shuffle

The thread for quick transaction-type updates. Gavin Cecchini DFA'd, off the 40-man roster to make room for Justin Wilson.

This is crushing for the Cecchini Fan Club. Surprised he got the axe instead of like Tim Peterson or someone like that. I still think he can hit someday. Would have been good if he didn't completely disappear after that foot injury last year.

Nobody in the BVW administration, save perhaps for Ricco, had anything to do with drafting or developing him, so I imagine the sense of attachment the previous regime may have had to a first-round draft pick wasn't there. I don't know how much of a factor something like that is, but I would guess that every little bit helps a player on the bubble.

The glut of infielders probably made this inevitable. It would take an unpleasant number of injuries to create an opening for Cecchini at this point, and I don't see it or even want to see it happening. I'd feel bad, but I think a waiver claim is in his best interests.

They saved Eric Hanhold? I know some turnover is inevitable but it's almost as though Brodie Von Whathaveyoudoneformelately is making a show of whacking Sandy's guys.

It has been suggested by a Twitterite who has thought about it that Mets likely have a trade lined up for Cecchini.

Yes, and yes. He would have had plenty of opportunity last year.

Read some of the middle relievers we held onto. Cutting Cecchini is an unforced error.

Sean Burnett, lefty RP, to a minor league deal https://metsmerizedonline.com/2019/02/mets-sign-left-hander-sean-burnett-to-minors-deal.html/?fbclid=IwAR2bwMjWS5r21rGMWFfkhBsfIstvcwk-G0JuJiBcAPd6iS2Vogs6FJbUhpg https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/burnese01.shtml https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Burnett

Wow. Burnett's appeared in 380 MLB games, but only 26 since 2012.

Vic Sage Feb 07 2019 10:24 AM Re: 2019 Mets Roster Shuffle

Burnett, Avilan or Zamora as 2nd lefty in the pen? or somebody else?

Edgy MD Feb 07 2019 01:54 PM Re: 2019 Mets Roster Shuffle

Hector Santiago joins that field as well, with Ryan O'Rourke and David Roseboom on the periphery.

Bad news for Sam Haggerty.
