Mets take flier on former Yankees reliever Nick Rumbelow

The Mets reached down to the Atlantic League to find some potential help for their bullpen.

The team signed Nick Rumbelow off the Sugar Land Skeeters this week and assigned him to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday. Rumbelow was a seventh-round draft pick of the Yankees in 2013 and pitched briefly with the team in 2015. The Yankees traded him to the Mariners after the 2017 season and he struggled in his two seasons in Seattle.

Rumbelow was designated for assignment in May after allowing four runs in 1 1/3 innings over three appearances.
