To make room for Ramos on the roster, New York has designated reliever Josh Edgin for assignment. The 30-year-old southpaw was serviceable in his 2017 campaign, but odds are he’s not likely a part of the Mets’ plans for next season, so the move makes sense.
Edgin appeared in 46 games and pitched a total of 37 innings, allowing 39 hits, 18 walks, and striking out 27 batters.
As for the player he’s being DFA’d for, Ramos, is looking to get his feet wet for his new club as he’s likely going to be a part of the bullpen in 2018 for the Amazin’s.
