STEPHEN TARPLEY NEWS

Released by Mets The Mets released Tarpley on Friday.

Impact The lefty had been designated for assignment Sunday and will become a free agent instead of joining Triple-A Syracuse. While Tarpley may appeal to an organization in need of pitching depth, he hasn't put forth competent MLB season since 2018 and will need to prove he can still pitch at the highest level.
