NY Mets roster reunion bumps Richard Lovelady down the depth chart, at least for now

David Stearns has spent the last month or so reuniting with some of the more underwhelming additions he brought to the team in 2025. Signing Richard Lovelady to a split contract was one of the more annoying moves.

Yeah, he’s probably going to flip between the majors and minors throughout the year. Maybe he has a big moment where he strikes out Aaron Judge in the Subway Series the same way Jake Diekman did in 2024.

On Friday, Stearns kept the theme going. He picked up Jose Castillo off of waivers from the Baltimore Orioles.
