Carrillo

The cuts are starting early this year. Carrillo was an up-and-down arm who showed off a 100 mph fastball in his limited time with the Mets, but was ineffective in that action. He’ll be up-and-down again in 2026.

Carrillo was ineffective in his three outings with the Mets. The 28-year-old heads back to Triple-A, but there’s a chance he could be back as a low-leverage helper for the Mets’ bullpen before 2025 closes.

Carrillo has yet to allow a hit or walk in 5 2/3 innings at Triple-A Syracuse while striking out 10 and flashing a 100 mph fastball. He also had a 4.19 ERA with 30 strikeouts in 19 1/3 innings for Double-A Binghamton before being promoted. The 28-year-old revitalized his career in the independent leagues and was signed out of the Venezuelan Winter League by the Mets after not being in professional baseball since 2019. He will be making his MLB debut if he gets into a game with the Mets.
