Rubin on why Dillon Gee didn't get a call-up: Perhaps more notable was who did not get summoned. Right-hander Dillon Gee, who went 8-3 with a 4.58 ERA in 14 starts with Las Vegas after clearing waivers and getting demoted, was not invited to return. Gee had some harsh words behind the scenes for Mets execs about his treatment after getting banished to the minors, which probably cost him. He has the right to declare free agency shortly after the World Series, well before he would be non-tendered by the Mets on Dec. 2 anyway. I am having a tough time seeing why Gee would not be considered as a replacement for a Niese start, or as extra bullpen help, particularly if Carlos Torres is hurt. Gee had a 1.67 ERA in his final 4 starts with Las Vegas.
