The Mets claimed Kranick off waivers from the Pirates on Friday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Kranick is on the move to a new organization one week after being designated for assignment. The right-hander missed most of 2023 while working his way back from Tommy John surgery but will enter 2024 healthy. He's posted a 5.56 ERA and 36:22 K:BB across nine starts and two relief appearances at the big-league level.
Max Kranick Makes room for Perez
Kranick was designated for assignment Friday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Analysis: Kranick missed nearly all of the 2023 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, though he managed to turn in 16.1 innings at Triple-A Indianapolis to close the year. He maintained a solid 2.76 ERA and 0.81 WHIP with a 12:6 K:BB, but he'll have to work his way back up the depth chart with a team this spring. The move made room for Martin Perez on the 40-man roster.
