The way it happened was rare in independent ball — and fitting for Jonathan Pintaro’s unorthodox journey.
Glacier Range Riders president Chris Kelly knew a Mets scout had traveled to watch Pintaro make a Pioneer League start last June, and that the Mets were interested in potentially purchasing his contract, but by the time the third inning arrived, the scout saw enough to sign him mid-game.
So the Range Riders made a pitching change. Pintaro knew about the scout, but not that a deal was “imminent,” Kelly told The Post.
No one else on the field, really, knew what was going on, either.

Charles Barkley is irate over the NFL trying to steal Christmas from the NBA.
Steve Kerr was out of line.
Despite the seven-goal goal Festivus the Rangers threw in Washington on Tuesday, the holiday month was short on joy and cheer.
The Mets were active Christmas Eve, signing right-handed journeyman Mike Baumann to a minor league contract, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported.
For as talented a scorer he is, one Karl-Anthony Towns tendency is constantly ruining offensive possessions.
It was exactly 1 p.m. Christmas Eve, and the Giants were just beginning their first full practice of the week for their second-to-last game of this miserable losing season.
