Mets acquire reliever Tyler Zuber in trade with Rays

The Mets traded to fix their bullpen in addition

to adding Paul Blackburn to their starting

rotation. RHP Tyler Zuber, a reliver, was

acquired by the Mets from the Tampa Bay Rays.

To create place for Zuber on the 40-man roster,

RHP Ty Adcock has been designated for

assignment and RHP Paul Gervase has been

assigned to Tampa. Zuber, 29, was selected by the

Kansas City Royals in the sixth round of the 2017

MLB Draft. After making his major league debut

in 2020, he has pitched in the majors for portions

of three seasons. However, he missed time in the

big leagues between the 2021 and 2024 seasons

due to a right shoulder impingement.

Zuber pitched six games for the Long Island

Ducks this season before having his contract

purchased by the Rays. In total, Zuber has made

56 career appearances, pitching to a 5.13 ERA

with 59 strikeouts and 39 walks in 52. 2 innings.

Gervase, 24, had been pitching for Double-A

Binghamton, posting a 3.25 ERA in 22

appearances this season.
