The New York Mets have released reliever Adbert Alzolay, who joined the team after recovering from Tommy John surgery. Alzolay struggled during his time at Triple-A Syracuse, allowing 10 runs over 8 2/3 innings. His performance fell short of the Mets' expectations, despite prior success with the Chicago Cubs, where he recorded 22 saves in 2023. Alzolay's inability to regain his former command contributed to the decision to move on. Future opportunities for the 31-year-old may depend on proving he has returned to form.
