Mets reunite with pitcher Robert Stock, who reveals why he can help despite ‘limited MLB success’
NY Post
One well-traveled pitcher believes his stock is only rising in his return to the Mets organization.
Right-hander Robert Stock, who inked a minor league pact this week that included an invite to spring training, is back with the Mets nearly five years after he last suited up for the team.
Stock, 36, sports a bloated 4.90 ERA through 57 career games – numbers that have led him to bounce around the baseball world since he was first drafted as a catcher back in 2009.
Since turning pro, Stock has been part of eight different MLB organizations, as well as playing in Korea, Mexico and two independent leagues.
“I’m 36 years old and have had extremely limited MLB success,” Stock said in an X thread. “And yet MLB teams continue to give me chances. Why? Because I continually find new ways to improve.”
After six seasons in the minors, Stock enjoyed a solid MLB debut in 2018, posting a 2.50 ERA in 32 games with the Padres. He failed to replicate that success in subsequent seasons with the Red Sox and Cubs.
The Red Sox traded one of their top prospects to the Pirates to help boost their rotation as part of a five-player trade Thursday night.
