Right-hander Kiko Calero, who failed to make the big-league club despite posting a 1.95 ERA with the Florida Marlins last season, is expected to remain with the organization. Calero did not have an “out” in his minor-league contract, but the Mets were not going to force him to pitch at Triple-A Buffalo against his will. Calero was 0-2 with a 5.68 ERA in seven Grapefruit League appearances spanning 6 1/3 innings.
“All indications are he is going to come back,” a team insider said.
Phew.
