Former Mets reliever has found success in stint with the Yankees
New York Yankees' Michael Tonkin pitches during the eighth inning of a baseball game against the Seattle Mariners, Wednesday, May 22, 2024, in New York. The Yankees won 7-3., the often quiet 6-foot-7 reliever revealed that his time in the Bronx has been “awesome.” That’s after spending all of spring training in Port St. Lucie with the Mets and five regular season appearances with them too.
“Obviously, it’s frustrating, right? My goal is to be a major league pitcher,” Tonkin said, via The Post. “Last year I threw 80 innings for a team that won 104 games. I felt like I showed I can contribute to a team and be a major leaguer. Then you have a couple of rough outings, and you’re out of there.”
Meanwhile, the Mets are 26-35 and nowhere near a playoff race — they’re 16 1/2 games from first in the NL East and need to jump over seven teams to enter the Wild Card race.
