The New York Mets have released right-hander Connor Overton, who had signed a minor league deal earlier this year. Overton, 32, has struggled since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023, yielding poor performance in the minors with a 7.85 ERA over 36.2 innings. His Spring Training efforts were underwhelming, leading to his release after only 5.1 innings pitched. Despite this, Overton has previously had success in the minors and may still attract interest from teams looking for pitching depth, as he posted strong numbers prior to his injuries.
Overton's career has been tumultuous, marred by injuries, yet he has shown flashes of promise with a solid minor league ERA before his Tommy John surgery.
Despite signing a minor league deal with the Mets hoping he could recuperate post-surgery, Overton struggled and was ultimately released after a lackluster Spring Training.
