The New York Mets made another round of cuts on Wednesday. This time it was an exodus of pitchers. Relief pitcher Pedro Payano, starting pitcher Corey Oswalt, and top-prospect David Peterson were the victims.
We have optioned RHP Corey Oswalt to minor league camp and re-assigned LHP David Peterson and RHP Pedro Payano to minor league camp. We now have 46 players in camp. #Mets

All three pitchers underwent strong springs, but none had a realistic chance of making the roster.
