The Mets grew frustrated with pitcher Rafael Montero 's approach in the majors, according to the New York Daily News.
Montero was known for his strong command in the minors, but that didn't come out in his brief major-league stint. Some team officials were disappointed he tried to nibble on the corners, which led to his demotion. "We’re trying to figure out what the hell that was all about," one Mets person said. "We were shocked."
Montero posted a 5.40 ERA over 20 innings in the majors prior to his demotion.
