Dylan Covey Elects Free Agency
Briefly

Dylan Covey, recently outrighted by the Mets, has opted for free agency after a stint with the organization. At 33, Covey signed a split deal worth up to $850K but chose to reject the assignment, impacting any minor league guarantees. His MLB performance has been inconsistent, with a career 6.18 ERA, although he demonstrated improvement in Taiwan, returning with a faster sinker. His recent minor league performance showed promise with a strong ground-ball rate and a competitive ERA, suggesting potential for future teams as he seeks a new opportunity.
Covey's move to free agency comes after a stint in the majors where he logged a 3.77 ERA in 2023 and strong minor league numbers.
Despite a poor career MLB ERA of 6.18, Covey showed improvement in Taiwan, and his return to North America features a notable increase in fastball velocity.
