Jurado has re-signed with the Kiwoom Heroes of the Korea Baseball Organization, Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency reports.
EDGE Analysis
It seems likely that Jurado drew some interest from major-league clubs after he posted a 2.65 ERA and 147:41 over 183.2 innings for the Heroes in 2023. However, Kiwoom gave him $1.2 million guaranteed to stick around, a salary he surely wasn't getting in the states. The 27-year-old last pitched in the big leagues in 2020.

Jurado signed with the Kiwoom Heroes of the KBO on Thursday, Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jurado spent the majority of the 2022 season at Triple-A St. Paul as a member of the Twins' organization. He managed an effective 3.54 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 53.1 innings but will now have a chance to contribute in the KBO.

Jurado (undisclosed) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jurado hasn't pitched in the minors since Aug. 12, but he should be available for the final month of the regular season. Over 10 appearances (four starts) at St. Paul this year, he's posted a 5.03 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 34 innings.

Jurado was non-tendered by the Mets on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
He made just one appearance for the Mets last season and has never posted an ERA under 5.50 across three MLB seasons, albeit in very small samples. Jurado may need to settle for a minor-league deal on the open market.

Jurado was optioned to the Mets' alternate training site Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jurado pitched poorly in his Mets debut Tuesday against the Orioles, giving up five runs on nine hits while striking out just two batters in four innings of work. He'll be removed from the roster as the Mets make room for their trade-deadline acquisitions.

Jurado allowed five earned runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out two across four innings Tuesday against the Mets. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Jurado gave up all five of his earned runs in the first two innings, surrendering a three-run homer in the first frame. He did manage to settle in from there, retiring six of the last eight batters he faced. The outing was his debut with the Mets, and he was needed as a starter after the Mets played a doubleheader Sunday against the Yankees. It's unclear how the team will utilize him going forward.

Jurado was recalled by the Mets prior to his scheduled start against the Orioles on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jurado joined the Mets via trade in early August and will make his debut with the team Tuesday. The right-hander carries a 5.85 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over 177 innings in the majors, so he doesn't carry much fantasy upside heading into his first appearance with the Mets.

Jurado will be recalled to start Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jurado, who was acquired in a trade from the Rangers in early August after being designated for assignment, spent a day on the Mets' big-league roster Sunday but did not get into a game. With a 5.85 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 13.2 percent strikeout rate in 177 career major-league innings, expectations should be low for the 24-year-old.
