On March 4, 2025, the New York Mets made their first round of spring training roster cuts, reassigning 13 players to minor league camp. Here’s a closer look at these players:
Pitchers:
- Ty Adcock: A right-handed pitcher known for his versatility on the mound.
- Adbert Alzolay: A right-handed pitcher with previous major league experience, aiming to refine his skills further in the minors.
- Dom Hamel: A promising right-handed pitcher, recognized as one of the Mets’ top prospects.
- Oliver Ortega: A right-handed pitcher who has shown potential with his fastball and off-speed pitches.
- Brandon Sproat: A right-handed pitcher who impressed during spring training with a perfect two-inning start against the Nationals, retiring all six batters he faced and striking out one.
- Blade Tidwell: A right-handed pitcher who made a notable impact by pitching an immaculate inning against the Rays during spring training.
Position Players:
- Ryan Clifford (Infielder): A versatile infielder who showcased his power by homering against the Astros in spring training.
- Drew Gilbert (Outfielder): An outfielder known for his defensive skills and potential at the plate.
- Rafael Ortega (Outfielder): An experienced outfielder with major league experience, providing depth and leadership in the minors.
- Kevin Parada (Catcher): A catcher with a strong defensive presence and developing offensive skills, considered one of the organization’s top prospects.
- Alex Ramírez (Outfielder): An outfielder with significant potential, looking to rebound after a challenging 2024 season.
- Luke Ritter (Infielder): A versatile infielder capable of playing multiple positions, aiming to enhance his offensive consistency.
- Jett Williams (Infielder): A young infielder with impressive defensive abilities and a developing bat, recognized among the Mets’ top prospects.
These roster moves reduced the Mets’ major league camp roster to 57 players, allowing the reassigned individuals to gain more playing time and experience in minor league camp.
Additionally, the Mets placed veteran reliever Sean Reid-Foley on outright waivers. Reid-Foley had a strong 2024 season with a 1.66 ERA over 21 2/3 innings but has been hampered by injuries, including a right shoulder impingement that sidelined him for the latter part of last season. With no remaining minor league options and over three years of service time, if unclaimed, he can reject a minor league assignment and become a free agent.
