By Aaliyan MohammedShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberThe New York Mets, like every team, has some tough decisions to make before the non-tender deadline. The Mets made one of those decisions by deciding to non-tender Max Kranick, according to The Athletic's Will Sammon on Friday.
The Mets claimed him off waivers before the 2024 season, and he spent the 2024 season in the minor leagues, pitching in Single-A, Double-A and Triple-A. Last season, he started in the big leagues before the Mets optioned him to Triple-A in June. The team called him back up shortly after.
In 24 games with the Mets, he had a 3.65 ERA. It was the most games he played in the big leagues in any season. He made his Major League Baseball debut in 2021 with the Pittsburgh Pirates. In nine games as a rookie, he had a 6.28 ERA. He pitched in just two games for the Pirates the following year.
...On June 19, the Mets placed him on the 15-day injured list. The team eventually transferred him to the 60-day injured list as he underwent flexor tendon repair surgery. He is now a free agent and has club control through 2028. His recovery timeline figures to play a major role in whether a team signs him for next season. He has a 4.69 career ERA in the big leagues, but played his best baseball last season.
