How he was cut by the Reds in 2020...pitched for the Joliet Slammers in the Frontier League in 2022 and 2023 before signing with Syracuse last year. He pitches 3.2 scorless inning in his one appearance this year for Syracuse."
NY Post:
- Mets' Brett Baty beginning to show he belongs: 'It's the total package' "Eric Chavez said before Wednesday’s game against the Braves was postponed by weather. 'Last year he was maybe a deer in the headlights, maybe not a whole lot of belief and questioning, ‘Can I play at this level?’ This year it’s the whole thing: It’s defense, base running. … He’s a great teammate and his personality is coming out.'”

Transactions:
New York Mets signed free agent Brett Butler on April 11, 1995.
New York Mets signed free agent Claudio Vargas on April 11, 2008.
1962 | After being rained out the previous night and with some players getting stuck in an elevator, the Mets make their National League debut in St. Louis, losing to the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, 11-4. The defeat will be the first of a record-setting 120 losses the New York expansion team will suffer this season. |
1971 | Jerry Grote hits a walk-off homer in the 11th inning off Wayne Granger at Shea Stadium. The New York catcher's game-ending round-tripper accounts for the only run scored in the Mets' 1-0 victory over Cincinnati. |
2003 | In the first of its 'home' games at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Expos rout David Cone and the Mets, 10-0. The Montreal franchise, which is now owned by major league baseball, will play 22 games in the commonwealth this season as a new venue is sought for the poorly-attended Canadian team. |
2006 | At the home opener at RFK Stadium prior to the hometown team's 7-1 loss to the Mets, Dick Cheney, wearing a red-and-blue Nationals jacket, becomes the eighth sitting vice president to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. After the the veep is greeted with a chorus of loud boos, he bounces the pitch in front of home plate, throwing the ball from directly in front of the pitching mound. |
1962 - The New York Mets play their first game and lose, 11 - 4, to the Cardinals in St. Louis. Gil Hodges and Charlie Neal provide bright spots for the Mets, hitting the first two home runs in the new franchise's history.
1963 - Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves becomes the all-time winningest left-handed pitcher in major league history. Spahn's 6 - 1 victory over the New York Mets gives him 328 career wins, moving him ahead of Eddie Plank as the all-time winningest left-hander. Except for Duke Snider's home run, no Mets get past second base.
2001 - Greg Maddux of the Atlanta Braves is almost flawless for seven innings, combining with a pair of relievers to pitch a one-hitter in a 2 - 0 victory over the New York Mets. The Mets wind up with only one runner against Maddux, Mike Remlinger and John Rocker, when Todd Zeile lines a single about a foot beyond second baseman Quilvio Veras's glove with one out in the 2nd inning.
2006: Minor league pitchers Waner Mateo (Mets), Ryan Rafferty (Royals), Ramón Ramirez and Justin Mallett (Reds), are suspended 50 games each by the Commissioner's office for violating baseball's minor league drug program, the first penalties since the sport toughened its rules during the offseason.
2012: Two anniversaries clash in New York, as the Mets celebrate a half century of existence, and Washington Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg the second anniversary of his professional debut. Strasburg has the upper hand, pitching 6 scoreless innings to earn his first win of the year, 4 - 0. His opponent Johan Santana, also coming back from arm surgery, gives up a single run in 5 innings when Mark DeRosa scores on a wild pitch in the 2nd, but it's enough to saddle him with the loss.
2015: Mets reliever Jenrry Mejia is the latest major league player to be suspended for testing positive for a steroid as he is handed an 80-game penalty. He is the fourth pitcher to incur the penalty in a two-week span, following Ervin Santana, David Rollins and Arodys Vizcaino.
2017 - Yoenis Cespedes hits three home runs to lead the Mets to a 14 - 4 win over the Phillies. He is the first player in team history with two three-homer games. His effort is part of a seven-homer night as Lucas Duda goes deep twice, and Asdrubal Cabrera and Travis d'Arnaud hit one out each.
4/11/2015 Jenrry MejÃa is suspended 80 games after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. MejÃa would return to the Mets in July and pitch 7 1/3 innings before another suspension for PEDs. pic.twitter.com/UxmIejX7KS
