11/18/2022 - Mets Roster Moves - Mets get two DFA'd Marlins Pitchers for Franklin Sanchez

  

FROM THE METS PRESS RELEASE: FLUSHING, N.Y., November 18, 2022 – The New York Mets today announced the club has acquired RHP Elieser Hernandez and RHP Jeff Bringham from Miami in exchange for minor league RHP Franklin Sanchez and a player to be named later or cash. 

Hernandez, 27, made 10 starts and 20 appearances overall for the Marlins in 2022, racking up 60 strikeouts in 62.1 innings. The Ocumare del Tuy, Venezuela native was 3-6 with a 6.35 ERA (44 earned runs/62.1 innings) this season. 

From 2020-2021, Hernandez posted a 3.84 ERA (33 earned runs/77.1 innings) with 87 strikeouts in 17 combined starts for the Marlins. For his career, he has held righties to a .241 (134-556) batting average. 

Overall, the 6-0, 214-pound righty is 10-21 with a 5.04 ERA (161 earned runs/287.2 innings) in 90 career games (48 starts) with the Marlins from 2018-2022. 

Brigham, 30, had a 3.38 ERA (nine earned runs/24.0 innings) with one save in 16 games in relief for Miami last season. The 6-0, 195-pounder held lefties to a .229 (8-35) batting average in 2022. 

The Federal Way, WA native is 3-7 with two saves and a 4.52 ERA (40 earned runs/79.2 innings) in 53 games (four starts) with the Marlins. 

Mets News' Take:

Jeff Bringham and Elieser Hernandez were both DFA'd on Tuesday as the Marlins looked to protect players from the Rule 5 Draft.

Sanchez, 22, threw as hard as 100 MPH with Brooklyn and St. Lucie last year, 2 -2, 3,79 ERA with 42 Ks in 35.2 innings.  He also went 0-1 with a 12.27 ERA in the Arizona Fall league in 7 games.

The move gives the Mets Major League depth in exchange for a prospect with a lot of potential though he was not on MLB's Top 30 Mets Prospect list.

First glance prospect hugger Dove is not liking the move.
Franklin Sanchez received raves last camp. Has to still respectfully be seen as a lottery ticket prospect at this point so Mets going upper minors taxi squad level depth for a lottery ticket seems par for the course. https://t.co/qIvvB748zq
