Mets Designate Cooper Criswell for Assignment
The New York Mets have designated right-handed pitcher Cooper Criswell for assignment, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Criswell spent all of 2025 in the Red Sox' organization, and while he mainly pitched at the Triple-A level, he did log 17.2 innings of work in the majors across seven appearances (one start). He posted a 3.57 ERA in the majors, but his FIP was staggeringly higher at 5.17. Across 65.2 innings at Triple-A, he racked up 9.3 K/9 and 3.8 BB/9 while surrendering ground balls at a 49.4% clip. The Mets had claimed Criswell off waivers from the Red Sox in December after Boston designated him for assignment. He's out of options, and now, his latest DFA is the corresponding 40-man roster move after New York acquired Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers from the Milwaukee Brewers.
