RHP Jenrry Mejia is still a member of the Mets organization, notes Adam Rubin of ESPN. The Mets can release him if they choose but he's currently costing the team nothing, adds Rubin.
Mejia, who was suspended from Major League Baseball for life last season due to a third positive PED test, recently began pitching in the Dominican Winter League.
He could potentially be reinstated from his lifetime ban after the 2017 season.
Banned for life last Feb. 12, Mejia accused MLB of orchestrating his third positive test because Mejia refused to implicate another individual, whom they would not identify, in the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
