The Mets have released lefty Tom Martin. Martin, who had already been reassigned to the minor league, had broken his right wrist, as well as injured his calf. According to Adam Rubin - Surfing The Mets, the Mets have many left handed relievers at their Buffalo AAA affiliate; Casey Fossum and Valerio de los Santos to name two. The Mets signed Martin as a free agent back on January 12th this year.
With Venezuela's 10-2 loss to Korea, the Mets will have their new closer, Francisco Rodriguez, returned to them. K-Rod is expected to return to the team on Tuesday since Monday is an off day. With Rodriguez' return, the two remaining MIA Mets are David Wright and JJ Putz of team USA. USA competes against Japan tonight in the WBC semi-final.
Lets hope Luis Sojo didn't over-use K-Rod too early in the season. Can you imagine if he goes down in July, due to being over used? At least this year they have JJ Putz who is a natural closer. Is this stupid WBC over yet?
