No Announcement, No Problem: Gose Finds New Life with Arizona After Mets Release

Sometimes, the quietest moves say the most.

While most fans were fixated on injuries and big-name trades, the New York Mets made a subtle roster move that flew completely under the radar — quietly releasing left-handed reliever Anthony Gose, with no announcement, no farewell tweet, not even a whisper. But the Arizona Diamondbacks? They were paying attention.

🕵️‍♂️ The Quiet Goodbye

It wasn’t until Jon Heyman reported it that anyone even knew Gose was no longer with the Mets organization. A former outfielder turned pitcher, Gose had been signed on a minor league deal, grinding it out in Triple-A with a respectable 4.30 ERA over 21 games. He even struck out 25 batters in 23 innings, showing some real promise as a potential bullpen piece.

So when the Mets, a team currently desperate for bullpen depth (thanks to Tylor Megill’s elbow injury), decided not to give Gose a shot — it left many scratching their heads.

🌵 Enter the Diamondbacks

Cue the Arizona Diamondbacks. With little fanfare, they scooped up Gose, adding a unique arm to their own bullpen ranks. It’s a low-risk, high-upside move — the kind that might not set Twitter ablaze today, but could quietly pay off come late-season crunch time.

For Gose, it’s a fresh start. A shot at major-league redemption. And for the D’Backs, it’s the chance to tap into a pitcher who’s shown the ability to induce ground balls, limit homers, and still has something left in the tank.

🤔 What Went Wrong in Queens?

No one’s quite sure why Gose didn’t get the call in New York. Some speculate a contract clause or opt-out trigger may have played a role. Others point to a late dip in performance. But what’s clear is that he never got the MLB shot the Mets hinted at when they signed him.

Maybe it was timing. Maybe it was miscommunication. Maybe it was just… the Mets being the Mets.

🎯 Gose’s Journey Isn’t Over

What we do know? Gose has landed on his feet — and for a player who reinvented his career by switching from outfield to pitcher, resilience is kind of his thing.

He’s got a new home, a clean slate, and perhaps, one more big-league chapter left to write.
