Mets Release Jorge López After He Throws Glove into Stands

A Day After Ejection, Relief Pitcher Jorge López Designated for Assignment

In a dramatic turn of events, the New York Mets have decided to designate relief pitcher Jorge López for assignment, just a day after he threw his glove into the stands during a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The 31-year-old right-hander has struggled on the mound, posting a 5.41 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 22 regular season games. His antics on the field have only added to the frustration, and it appears the Mets have had enough.

López's outburst during the game, which included a postgame rant, only added to the drama. The pitcher, who has played for four teams in his career, appeared to be at a loss for words in the aftermath of the incident.

As Jorge López prepares to move on from the Mets, it remains to be seen what's next for the embattled reliever. Will he find a new team willing to take a chance on him, or will this be the end of his time in the big leagues?
