Mets Claim Richard Lovelady Off Waivers From Nationals

The Mets have re-acquired left-handed reliever Richard Lovelady via a waiver claim from the Nationals. Since joining the organization last June, Lovelady has been designated for assignment four times. Because he is out of options, his roster spot remains tenuous as the team evaluates other left-handed relief options in camp, including A.J. Minter, to join Brooks Raley in the bullpen for the upcoming season.
