Just when we thought that Omar was going to take the “fiscally responsible” move and demote Joe Smith to make room for a starter for tomorrow’s game, someone knocked some sense into him. Here are the roster moves made today by the Mets:
Demoted: RHP Nelson Figueroa, RHP Jorge Sosa
Promoted/Activated: RHP Claudio Vargas, RHP Matt Wise, IF Fernando Tatis
DL: OF Angel Pagan
This should be goodbye to Sosa; I’m sure there will be lots of crying by Mets fans over that. I feel bad for Figueroa but wouldn’t be at all surprised if he’s back soon unless Vargas has a great start tomorrow. Tatis has been playing extremely well in New Orleans, and deserves Pagan’s spot. Hopefully it’s nothing serious with Angel and he’s back soon. In terms of Wise, well, hopefully he can be that 6th inning reliever that the Mets have been missing all year.

[...] Luckily for him, he won’t have to anymore, as he’s been designated for assignment. [...]
