Garza elected to become a free agent Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
He passed through waivers after being removed from the Mets' 40-man roster, but Garza has decided to hit the free-agent market rather than accept an outright assignment. The 31-year-old has allowed four runs with a 3:1 K:BB in 6.2 innings during his brief time with the Mets in 2025.

The Mets outrighted Garza to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
He's no longer on the 40-man roster, but Garza will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 31-year-old has made five relief appearances with the Mets this season, yielding four runs with a 3:1 K:BB in 6.2 innings.

The Mets designated Garza for assignment Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Garza has been with Triple-A Syracuse since July 23, and he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster Sunday to make room for Brandon Sproat, who'll be making his MLB debut. Assuming Garza clears waivers, he'll likely remain within the Mets organization. He's posted a 7.86 ERA in 26.1 innings with Syracuse this season.

The Mets optioned Garza to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Garza had covered three scoreless innings over the past two days, so he wasn't going to be available for the next game or two. New York opted to swap him off the 26-man roster for Ty Adcock, who was recalled from Syracuse.

The Mets selected Garza from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garza was acquired from the Giants in exchange for cash considerations over the weekend and will join the big club, taking the roster spot of fellow reliever Brandon Waddell. The 31-year-old Garza appeared in 19 games at Triple-A with San Francisco's organization and posted a 6.11 ERA and 10.2 K/9 across 17.2 innings out of the bullpen.

Garza was traded from the Giants to the Mets in exchange for cash considerations Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Garza has spent the entire 2025 season with Triple-A Sacramento. His 6.11 ERA and 1.151 WHIP don't paint an optimistic picture, but a 20:6 K:BB across 17.2 innings suggests he's pitched better than his results. Garza should serve as depth in the minor leagues for the Mets.
