The Mets announced a key pitching decision before facing the Red Sox. Here's what the move means and why New York made it. Getty
The New York Mets are doing some organizational trimming ahead of next week’s MLB trade deadline.
The organization on Tuesday released prospect Sam Biller from the Brooklyn Cyclones, the transaction log on MILB.com noted. The 24-year-old outfielder had been with the team since signing as an undrafted free agent last year, but failed to find his place within the organization and now will need to find a new team.

Biller spent time across the organization’s farm system over the last two years, reaching the Triple-A Syracuse Mets for three games. He had a total of 197 at-bats with 45 hits and 17RBIs, hitting a slash line of .228/.346/.661.
Biller spent time at Loyola Marymount and UConn before signing with the Mets, turning in some strong performances.
“Was Perfect Game National Player of the Week after going 12-19 with four doubles, five home runs, 17 runs batted in from 4/29-5/4,” the UConn website noted. “The week included a three home run and six RBI game at Villanova (5/2). Totaled 17 multi-hit games and 15 multi-RBI games. Second longest hit streak on the team with 16. Collected first hit as a Husky vs. Stetson (2/14). Hit first home run in a win vs. No. 14 Vanderbilt (3/2). Hit a grand slam home run in win at Miami (3/7).”
