The New York Mets announced that they have designated Drew Gagnon for assignment to help make room for their four 40-man roster additions on Wednesday.

This comes after a Korean report that was translated by MMO’s own Michael Mayer said Drew Gagnon was closing in on a contract with a team in the KBO.

However, Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors reports that this is not the case and Gagnon will not be heading to the KBO.

Gagnon, 29, made 18 appearances for the Mets in 2019 in which he registered a 8.37 ERA, 8.96 FIP, and 1.732 WHIP with 6.5 K/9 as compared to 2.7 BB/9.
