Mets Bring Home Local Pitcher Seelinger | New York Mets News

The Mets just snagged reliever Matt Seelinger in a cash deal from the Tigers, sending him from Toledo to Syracuse — and potentially straight to the big leagues. A Long Island native and 27th-round draft pick, Seelinger’s Triple-A numbers are solid: a 3.89 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP, with strong strikeout potential. His standout 1.89 ERA last year in Double-A and a contract clause forcing the Tigers to either promote or trade him made this move a perfect fit. With the trade deadline looming and bullpen spots up for grabs, Seelinger could be on his way to the Mets’ bullpen — and maybe even get a call-up before the season ends.
