Back in November, when the Rays could no longer stash Lavender on the 60-Day Injured List, they were forced to use a full roster spot on him or DFA him.

They chose the latter, but were forced to offer him back to the Mets first, and the Mets said Hell Yeah!

Notably absent from this list is Trey McGough, who was signed a few weeks ago to a very unusual two-year minor-league free-agent contract.
