Ryne Stanek gets DFAd
Everything accept Quintana because he will lose at least one game in the next 6 weeks so he would have to win four games. Also he is a five to six inning pitcher doesn’t get many decisions. That is too optimistic for me.
Stanek will be the next cut when SRF returns. Then Ottavino.
The Mets will get hot again, but the question is how long will it last and can they make up the ground they will lose?
Severino talked about “managing his innings” in the second half so that’s interesting. We can tell this guy is fully on board. Too bad Senga got hurt but I would hope he is the first DFA.
