Carl Edwards Jr. Designated for Assignment by Mets

0:00On April 30th, the New York Met's just designated Carl Edwards Jr. for assignment. He's that right-hander from the Chicago Cubs, 2016 World Series winning squad. Signed a minor league deal with them back in December, but only pitched in two big league games this year. He looks sharp in those six innings at City Field, striking out 11 of the 25 batters he faced. But Edwards has bounced around the majors. This makes his 19 since that Cubs run from 2016 to 18. Fans are reminiscing about his key role in that Cubs bullpen, helping snag their first title in over a century. At 34 now, turning 35 in September, his options might shrink to another farm deal if he clears waivers. The Met's have five days to trade him, release, or put him on waivers. In the same move, they put outfielder Louis Robert Jr. on the injured list while calling a Brydie Austin Warren and third baseman Eric Wagamon from AAA Syracuse. Edwards' journey shows how tough the relief game stays, even for a champ keeping eyes peeled on
