The New York Mets’ 2017 season has quickly taken a turn for the worse and pitching surprisingly has been at the center of the team’s struggles. Sandy Alderson and company have tabbed Neil Ramirez as the latest outside option.
Ramirez was signed to a major league deal and will take the spot of Asdrubal Cabrera who was officially placed on the 10-day disabled list. Ramirez started the year with San Francisco, but was designated for assignment. Toronto claimed him off waivers, but he never threw a pitch for the Blue Jays. Ramirez rejected an assignment, electing free agency instead.
