The New York Mets optioned Jonah Tong to Triple-A Syracuse and recalled fellow right-hander Joey Gerber from the same club on Wednesday.

The NY Mets did not sign Bo Bichette to be another lineup question they have to work around. That is where this has gotten uncomfortable.

Freddy Peralta‘s name was frequently mentioned in trade rumors during his time with the Milwaukee Brewers. After years of speculation, the right-hander was dealt to the New York Mets back in January.

The New York Mets' season can be summed up in one word: Disappointing. Dead last in the National League East (26-34, 14.0 games back) and the third-worst
