The Mets have designated Frankie Montas for assignment and requested unconditional release waivers, allowing them to promote outfield prospect Nick Morabito ahead of the Rule 5 deadline. Montas struggled with injuries and performance during his brief tenure, throwing only 38 2/3 innings with a 6.28 ERA, while Morabito, known for his speed, was a second-round pick in 2022 and excelled in Double-A with 49 stolen bases in 2025.
