New York Mets DFA reliever Stephen Nogosek
Stephen NogosekThe New York Mets have designated right-handed reliever Stephen Nogosek for assignment to provide a roster spot for Rick Porcello.
Over the past week, the New York Mets have added two pitchers to a starting rotation that includes a two-time Cy Young Award-winner. They inked one-year deals with both Michael Wacha and Rick Porcello. The latter contract is for $10 million and one the Mets needed to clear a roster spot for.
Thus, the organization decided to designate right-handed reliever Stephen Nogosek for assignment. The Boston Red Sox originally drafted the 24-year-old in the sixth round of the 2016 MLB draft. He was traded to the Mets for Addison Reed back in July of 2017.
