What It Means:

Prior to signing with the Atlanta Braves this past offseason, Colon pitched three seasons with the Mets. Now, having been designated for assignment last week, the 44-year-old is likely to clear waivers this week. At that point, he will be able to agree to a deal with a team of his choosing.

Colon's 1.69 nERD is down from a year ago, but that would still rank fifth among all Mets pitchers in 2017.
