Mets shift Burgos to make room for Reyes
Published 7/4/2008 at Surfing the Mets - NY Daily News Blogs
No big deal making 40-man roster room for Argenis Reyes. The Mets transferred Ambiorix Burgos to the 60-day DL, where players don’t count against the roster limit. Because Burgos hasn’t been active this season, the move is essentially backdated, meaning he could be activated whenever he’s ready. Burgos is apparently going to be pitching in a game by Aug. 1, just 11 months after Tommy John surgery. The hard-throwing reliever was acquired two winters ago from Kansas City for Brian Bannister.
