Old Friends Moving On: Former Mets 2025

[G-Fafif]

A new offseason, a new thread, a name familiar to “transactions “ aficionados to start us off.

Yohan Ramirez as a 2024 Met has the resonance of those NFL players whose only games were of the replacement variety in 1987 — yet it counts.

What a weird Mets career. Appeared twice before March was even done, got suspended in game two of the opening series for allegedly throwing at (but not hitting) Rhys Hoskins in alleged retaliation for Hoskins coming in hard on Jeff McNeil when sliding in to second the day before, presumably despite barely knowing McNeil.



Gets his manager suspended along with him, presumably making Mendoza the first Mets manager ever to garner his first suspension before his first win, or even his first road game.



Appears in one game after his suspension and, despite supposedly taking a hit for his team and teammates, gets immediately DFA'd.



Appears for three other big-league teams before the season is done, prospering for none.



Possibly, if his teammates remember his loyalty (if not his success), he'll get piece of a postseason share.



Also has the misfortune of being conflated (in my mind) with Jorge López, who expedited his exit by gifting a fan with a game-used baseball glove.
