364 days after making his MLB debut with the New York Mets, Alex Carrillo has been DFA’d. Appearing in three games for the 2025 Mets, all included at least one run charged to him. His most brutal outing came when he gave up 5 earned runs in 1.1 innings in the first game out of the All-Star Break. Last year's Mets had a lot of turning points. Using him as the first reliever out of the break was one of the more brutal ones, especially when the Mets lost to the Cincinnati Reds as a result. Had they won that one game, they would have made the playoffs.
News: Jorge Polanco is back from the injured list. Ronny Mauricio optioned, and Alex Carrillo designated for assignment.

It's been a long time out for Polanco, who will serve as a part-time DH for the Mets. Time will tell how effective he can be.
It’s not necessarily all his fault. Carrillo was probably not cut out for the major leagues anyway. Discovered in the Independent Leagues, Carrillo proved David Stearns wrong.
Alex Carrillo was an overdue Mets experiment that needed to end
Just a 5.57 ERA this year in Triple-A with 26 walks in 21 innings, it’s astonishing he was able to last this long. Injured for about the last month, the Mets let him maintain a 40-man roster spot throughout. Was it sympathy for the injured?
No longer able to be so kind or so gullible into thinking he’d recover and be of much use, the Mets sent him packing in favor of Matt Seelinger who wasn’t any better for them on Tuesday.
Minor league free agent fliers have continually failed for the Mets in their attempt to find another Jose Iglesias. That once-in-a-lifetime pickup certainly wasn’t going to be matched by a Carrillo or anyone else they’ve been adding.
Throughout his Mets tenure, the number of random signings Stearns has made seems a bit more extreme than the average team. Carrillo, clinging for as long as he has, was the topper of them all. He was someone whose continued presence on the roster was questionable heading into this season. Never a hint of getting a call-up early on before his injury, we can ask the question of “what took so long?”
Stearns’ trigger finger is quick on some, not so much on others. It’s not always consistent. Carrillo is one of those cases. More walks than innings pitched should have made that an easy decision before he even had a chance to land on the IL.
