Despite a second half turn around, the New York Mets are still experiencing one of the most infuriating seasons in franchise history.

Coming off of a historic collapse which saw them miss the playoffs after once being 20 games over .500 in 2025, the Mets made a lot of changed to attempt to improve.

Those moves have not worked out as the team sits in fifth place in the National League East division with a 63-77 record.

However, the team did just take three out of four against the American League leading Tampa Bay Rays before headed home for a three-game set against the San Francisco Giants.

The team made a roster move prior to the start of the series, claiming right-handed pitcher Cameron Weston off of waivers and optioning him to Triple-A Syracuse, while designating catcher Shawn Ross for assignment.

Weston pitched in one game for Baltimore this season, striking out one in one inning.

In Triple-A, he posts a concerning 7.89 ERA with 66 strikeouts and 31 walks across 51 1/3 innings.

Ross was playing in Triple-A for the Mets while hitting to a .731 OPS, but his disappointing .195 batting average led to the DFA.
