Seth Stohs Site Manager Posted May 2 Posted May 2 Organizations are signing more and more players from independent leagues, many in-season. I thought I'd start this forum thread for other minor league signings throughout the season. According to the Hagerstown Flying Boxcars, RHP Jack Weisenburger has signed a minor-league deal with the Mets. The 28-year-old was the 20th round pick of the A's back in 2019 out of the University of Michigan. He remained in that organization through the 2024 season and reached AA. He has been used mostly as a reliever in affiliated ball. In 2025, he pitched for Hagerstown and went 1-11 with a 5.66 ERA. He made 32 appearances, 15 starts. In 103 1/3 innings, he walked 54 and struck out 106 batters. He played in Mexico this winter. He has not pitched for Hagerstown yet in 2026. I assume he's a depth piece to eat innings at Double-A.

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 2 Posted May 2 He's going to be terrific. More likely, he'll simply be a more or less useful addition to the AA roster.
seawolf17 Old-Timey Member Posted May 12 Posted May 12 Yeah, I love these kinds of signings. Someone's gotta play these games, and it's fun to see guys get the call to MLB affiliated organizations.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 12 Posted May 12 I knew a Nick Roselli from Long Island. But I suspect most people from Long Island knew at least one Nick Roselli.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted May 13 Posted May 13 Nick isn't so much a signing as a re-signing. He has been in the Mets ogainziation his whole (brief) career, before getting the kick on April 1. Mets hung on to his number, though.
