Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:14:01 GMT

PITTSBURGH — The Mets had to part ways with clubhouse favorite Tommy Hunter on Saturday, which was a difficult decision for all involved and now leaves a different decision for the veteran right-hander.Will the 36-year-old continue playing if he’s claimed off waivers, or will he retire?The Mets designated Hunter for assignment on Saturday after he pitched in back-to-back games and gave up four earned runs. The Mets needed fresh arms for a beleaguered bullpen and the Mets were able to get two from Triple-A Syracuse by using Hunter’s roster spot and optioning left-hander Zach Muckenhirn, who pitched 2 1/3 innings in Friday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.Muckenhirn wouldn’t be able to pitch for a few more days and the Mets are still reeling from having to use six pitchers Thursday night in Atlanta. The Mets recalled right-hander John Curtiss and left-hander Josh Walker.“Everybody has history with Tommy, so it’s tough,” manager Buck Show...
