Mets DFA Jorge López After Glove-Throwing Incident in 9-3 Loss to Dodgers at Citi Field

May 30, 2024, 01:02 AM

The New York Mets experienced a significant meltdown during their game against the Dodgers at Citi Field, losing 9-3 after Adam Ottavino allowed four earned runs and Shohei Ohtani hit a two-run homer off Jorge López in the top eight. Following the game, López was ejected and threw his glove into the stands, an action that led to his designation for assignment by the Mets. The team delayed media entry into their clubhouse to hold a team meeting addressing the incident. López expressed no regret for his actions and reportedly met with Mets officials David Stearns and Carlos Mendoza before the decision to DFA him was made.
