Jose Urena Won't Opt Out Of Mets Deal, Will Pitch At Triple-A
Briefly

As Opening Day nears, the Mets have made several cuts, letting go of Chris Devenski, Genesis Cabrera, Donovan Walton, and Jakson Reetz, all on minor league contracts. Notably, right-hander Jose Urena, with a poor Grapefruit League showing (19.29 ERA), opted not to exercise his opt-out clause and will stay with the organization to pitch at Triple-A. With a seasoned 10-year career behind him, Urena offers depth for the Mets, especially as injuries could impact the roster. The Mets also confirmed Danny Young and Reed Garrett are part of the Opening Day bullpen.
The five players named in the Mets' recent camp cuts were all on minor league contracts, indicating the competitive nature of the team's roster as they approach Opening Day.
Urena's disappointing 19.29 ERA during the Grapefruit League reflects the challenges he faced in camp, yet he opts to remain with the Mets and pitch at Triple-A.
