The New York Mets made a trade on Tuesday, their first official one of the 2025-2026 MLB offseason. It didn’t stop the presses or cause a delay in any election. In exchange for cash, the Mets added recently DFA’d Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Joey Gerber.
David Stearns has had a heavy interest in several Rays pitchers in his short time running the Mets. Gerber, a 28-year-old with 19 games of MLB experience, will join the Mets as an optional reliever they can test out in the spring and see if he’s worth joining their latest militia of bullpen arms.
