The Mets have officially cleared a spot on the 40-man roster for Fernando Salas by trading Gabriel Ynoa to the Baltimore Orioles for cash.
That followed Thursday’s move in which the Mets designated Ty Kelly for assignment to clear space for Jerry Blevins.
Ynoa, 23 made his Major League debut with the Mets in 2016 and appeared in 10 games (three starts). He logged 18.1 innings and surrendered 13 earned runs. Ynoa was signed as an international free agent by the team back in 2009 and was the 18th-ranked prospect last season.
The deepest part of this team is their starting rotation.
