No word on who reliever is that #Mets claimed. Team with reliever can let him go to NYM, negotiate trade or pull him back.

Ken Rosenthal
Sources: #Mets awaiting word on a waiver claim of a reliever. Progress toward an acquisition first reported by @AdamRubinESPN.

out of 30 teams in team defense. ;)

He called for seven hit-and-runs on one midseason road trip and the Mets made contact zero times. Adam Rubin added,

Jimmy
@jareddiamond @AdamRubinESPN @AnthonyDiComo Please ask TC why he never puts runners in motion. Please?! Makes no sense.

Ken Rosenthal
Source: #lPadres pulled back Kimbrel from waivers yesterday. He is not the reliever the #Mets are trying to get.

has 3 home runs and 9 RBI and it is the 7th inning

The middle of the pen is a tad thin. If we can sneak one effective RP through waivers it could really solidify things.

Adam Rubin
Told the potential reliever trade, which is with an NL club, is moving slowly. No guarantee it gets done, but Mets trying.

I'm respecting the wishes of the sources who helped me out. Stay tuned. Adam Rubin added,

Jayden Blake @FutureStuds
@AdamRubinESPN are you allowed to tell us what you're hearing?

Lost another Harvey start last night. Should have won.

Degrom coming off his only real poor outing. Want to rebound.

Have to keep the foot on the Nats' throat. Don't want them creeping back to 3 or 4 games out

Called strike 3s and swinging at bad pitches ... with men on base.

And that right there is why and how Rubin is still the best Mets writer...

In his last 10 games he's had 31 ABs and K'd 13 times, 3 BBs, 7 hits and 1 RBI.

worked perfectly to keep out of the DP.

1st 2 innings and zippo to show for it.

It will take four to six months for Denard Span to recover from left hip surgery. #Nats #Nationals #MLB

They can't hit with RISP

Adam Rubin
Brandon Nimmo's absence with Vegas was the result of a facial injury. Took ball off nose in batting cage five days ago. Now cleared to play.

zero runs

Ken Rosenthal aimed on waivers by #Mets. Timeline on when deal needs to be completed is unclear.

Again ...

Ken Rosenthal
Sources: #Padres LHP Marc Rzepczynski is reliever claimed on waivers by #Mets. Timeline on when deal needs to be completed is unclear.

Adam Rubin
Mets apparently have made multiple waiver claims. Ken Rosenthal reports Padres LH Marc Rzepczynski. I'll heard reliever with another NL club

Anthony DiComo
Rzepczynski, known as "Scrabble" for obvious reasons, celebrates his 30th birthday today. He has a 4.88 ERA. LHH own a .650 OPS against him.

Jon Heyman
K-Rod is claimed and pulled back on waivers, so he's staying in milwaukee.

Jon Heyman
if anyone's desperate for a veteran starter, aaron harang has cleared waivers.

Adam Rubin
Starting to get the sense a deal with happen with Mets. Not guarantee, but looking likely.

available for the 7th inning? This should be Jacob's last.

EOF throwing in the bullpen?

has to pick up Degrom today.

The guy I won't tell you about. Adam Rubin added,

Joe Hoffmann
@AdamRubinESPN With Rzepczynski or the guy you won't tell us about?

.

I hate interleague games

Love it when the bats go cold against crappy teams.

Joe Kelly.

Kevin Kernan
My guess is Murphy never thinks ahead -- if slow roller is hit to me I'm going home ... if laser is hit to me I'm going for 2.

They're gonna drop Harvey and deGrom games against this shitty team

in this series. Disappointing.

When is Duda coming back?

has to be the regular 7 th inning pitcher. Hes our third best reliever

Lets go Mets!

have to do with it? the Mets bats were quiet against the pirates back of the rotation starters.

the offense is a concern, the bullpen is a concern, just have to hope they're on one of their streaks in the playoffs or they'll get bounced early.

keep them coming!

Have not been paying attention lately. Joe Kelly has been much better over his last few starts. JBJ has been crushing the ball since his most recent call up. Shaw may be a mirage at first but he hasbeenmuch better than the sucking hole in the lineup that was Mike Napoli. Even the fat man at third has been better in the second half.

Betts, Bradley & Castillo is a very goos defensive outfield. If the Sox bullpen didn't suck as hard as it has all year they would be much more competitive.

According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, the Mets claimed LHP Marc Rzepczynski off waivers from the Padres and are working on a deal to acquire him.

Rzepczynski, 30, has a 4.88 ERA in 60 appearances with the Padres and Indians this season, however he has held left-handed hitters to a .257 batting average and a .650 OPS in 84 plate appearances.

He�s another one of those lefty relievers you never want facing a right-handed batter who are hitting .324 against him with an .851 OPS. But you know Terry.

EOF has his best outing an hour before he's about to be released. lol

time to feast on the Red Sox bullpen

Why would anyone "pay attention lately" to a last place team.

No one coming up big against bad pitching

relief sighting!

Here we go again. Are we ever going to get to see the whole lineup together?

out of this. lol Colon?
