Mets acquire Tyler Zuber in trade with Rays
The Mets are getting right-handed relief pitcher Tyler Zuber from the Rays in exchange for right-handed reliever Paul Gervase, per Anthony DiComo.
Zuber has thrown just 3.1 innings at the major league level with the Rays this year and has a total of 52.2 innings logged in his big league career. In total, he has a 5.13 ERA and a 5.99 FIP with a 24.9 percent strikeout rate and an alarmingly high 16.5 percent walk rate. He’s also given up 1.88 home runs per nine as a major league pitcher.
In 21.1 innings in Triple-A this year, Zuber has a 2.49 ERA and a 3.60 FIP with far better walk and home run rates than he’s had in the big leagues.
