That's what I originally thought. But this site had it listed for today.

Silly me, believing everything I read on the internet.

Thanks.

Phillies pick off Mike Vasil.

And he'll be easy for the Rays to keep, because they can stash him on the 60-day injured list for the entire season.



Vasil is another story. I suspect he'll suck and the Phillies will send him back.

Phils trade Vasil to Rays for cash.

Those scoundrels!

If I'm counting right, it looks like the Mets lost 7 pitchers, a catcher and shortstop today, including the minor league phase. They only added AA righty Michael Hobbs from the Dodgers. On one hand, it's good the farm had so many prospects worthy of picking. On the other hand, it sucks the farm had so many prospects worthy of picking.

It wasn't that long ago that Vasil was highly regarded, so I'm more than a little surprised he was left unprotected. At the very least, I would have traded him before I just let him go. Yeah he struggled at AAA last year, but so did Brandon Sproat. And José Buttó had a 5.93 ERA at Syracuse in 2023. Don't assume he can't stick in the Rays' pen for a full season.

Mets lose two in Rule 5 draft

In the Rule 5 Draft, the Mets lost right-hander Mike Vasil to the Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Nate Lavender to the Tampa Bay Rays. In Triple A last season, Vasil had a 6.04 ERA in 134 innings (27 starts). The Rays can stash Lavender, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, on the 60-day injured list, provided they keep him on their 40-man roster until spring training.



“You never want to lose any player in a Rule 5 draft,” Stearns said. “We simultaneously wish them well and also hope to get them back.”



If Vasil (this year) and Lavender (next year upon his return) can't stick on the major-league roster for their respective teams, they have to be offered back to the Mets.


If I'm reading this correctly, it sounds like Tampa Bay would have to keep Lavender on their roster throughout the 2026 season? (This is how I'm interpreting the "this year" for Vasil and "next year" for Lavender.)

The wording is confusing. I think next year still means ‘25 for Lavender. He had surgery in May of ‘24 and can probably pitch again sometime in the second half. So presumably the Rays can stash him on the IL until he's healthy, then move him back to the 40-man if they have room this summer.



But I honestly don't know.

I remember the Mets lost a Rule 5 pitcher to the Red Sox a while back and the Sox kept him on the IL most of the season claiming he had “blisters” and the Mets started beefing about it. Can't for the life of me remember the players name - which means he must not have panned out.
