Veteran right-hander Kyle Farnsworth went from Mets closer to a man hellbent
on beating his now former team in a matter of minutes on Wednesday night.
According to Danny Knobler of ESPN New York, Farnsworth was officially
outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas immediately following the Mets 4-0 loss to
the New York Yankees despite sporting a solid 3.18 ERA and serving as the
team's closer for the majority of the season. In fact, Farnsworth nailed down
the Mets' victory in the Subway Series opener on Monday — his third save of
the season.
Technically, Farnsworth was not released, but he does reserve the right to
refuse the assignment and elect free agency. At this point, it's safe to
assume that's the route Farnsworth will take, because he was none too pleased
about the developments as they played out on Wednesday. He didn't bother
hiding his anger or expressing what he intends to do next.
"Hopefully find a team to play against this team," Farnsworth said. "I'm very
bitter right now."
Those comments came before he vacated Citi Field.
It's certainly easy to understand his frustration. He may not be closer
material on most teams, but he's done well enough to hold his roster spot,
especially in the Mets' thin bullpen. More than anything else, the timing of
it all seems very strange, but Knobler's colleague Adam Rubin adds that the
reasoning is pretty simple.
原本以為把他調到守護神的位置應該是很看重他
現在他怒氣值全滿 國東其他球隊快考慮喔 大都會選手應該快閃尿了
對了 EDA也可以考慮
