Mets Surprise! Sean Reid-Foley Suddenly Placed on Outright Waivers
After four seasons with the New York Mets organization, right-handed reliever Sean Reid-Foley could be on the move.

On Tuesday evening, MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo reported that the Mets placed Reid-Foley on outright waivers. He added that it is a step toward removing him from the 40-man roster, but it leaves him exposed to a claim from another team.
Reid-Foley, 29, was effective in 23 appearances last season, posting a 1.66 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and a 10.4 K/9 rate over 21.2 innings. However, he missed Opening Day due to a right shoulder impingement, which resurfaced in June and cost him the entire second half of the season.
The right-hander threw his 95-mph four-seamer 67.8% of the time in 2024, according to Statcast, and opponents hit just .149 against the pitch. He also mixed in a changeup and a slider.
While Reid-Foley has appeared in each of the past seven major league seasons, health issues have prevented him from taking on a hefty workload. He has not exceeded 30 innings since 2019 with the Toronto Blue Jays and underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery in May 2022.
