Nicholas Burdi: Breaking News

Cut from big-league camp

The Mets reassigned Burdi to minor-league camp Tuesday. Burdi made four appearances at the big-league level with Boston in 2025, but he was outrighted off the 40-man roster in August and then joined the Mets on a minor-league deal this offseason. The 33-year-old righty was given the chance to compete for a spot in the Mets' Opening Day bullpen during spring training, but he was cut after yielding two runs in two innings in his two Grapefruit League appearances. Expect Burdi to report to Triple-A Syracuse to begin the season.

Latches on with Mets

The Mets signed Burdi to a minor-league contract Nov. 21. Burdi spun 5.1 scoreless innings with a 5:2 K:BB during his brief time with the Red Sox this season but spent most of the year at Triple-A Worcester, holding a 2.83 ERA and 45:16 K:BB across 35 frames. Slated to turn 33 in January, Burdi will likely begin the 2026 season as relief depth at Triple-A Syracuse.

Elects free agency

Burdi elected to become a free agent Thursday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. The 32-year-old was removed from Boston's 40-man roster back in August and has decided to exercise his right to free agency. Burdi made four appearances for the Red Sox this season, tossing 5.1 scoreless innings with a 5:2 K:BB.
