Mets DFA Jorge Lopez after glove toss and harsh comments
The New York Mets are expected to designate reliever Jorge Lopez for assignment after he threw his glove into the stands and made controversial comments following a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lopez, who has had a solid season with a 3.12 ERA, expressed frustration by calling the Mets "the worst team in the whole f—cking MLB," though he later clarified he meant he was the "worst teammate." The Mets' recent struggles have added to the tension, but they are not statistically the worst team in baseball.
