The Mets have designated lefty Buddy Baumann for assignment, per a club announcement. Also departing the active roster is righty Gerson Bautista, who was optioned to Triple-A.
These moves will create the roster space needed for the Mets to activate Todd Frazier and Anthony Swarzak. We covered their activations from the DL earlier today.
Baumann, 30, was hit hard in his three appearances this year with the Mets. He has shown swing-and-miss ability at the game’s highest level, but has yet to fully establish himself in the majors. In 14 Triple-A innings this season, Baumann has allowed only a pair of earned runs on seven hits, with 18 strikeouts and ten walks.

How is Jose Reyes still on this roster.

Reyes must have some dirt on someone in the front office. That’s the only way it makes sense.

Hopefully Dayton gets his head out of you know where and bringa him back to KC, get rid of Blaine

After watching Baumann pitch, you’d be best served if Dayton keeps his head planted where it is

Killing it at AAA & getting murdered in the majors at age 30? Congrats! You’re a AAAA player! Get your a$$ to Korea and never darken our TV screens again.
