Source: Mets DFA Figueroa...again

Here we go again.

A source has told The 'Ropolitans that the Mets have designated Nelson Figueroa for assignment to make room for Tim Redding. Redding will make his first start of the season tonight against the Dodgers.

Figueroa was called up a few days ago but never made an appearance this time around.

This is the second time this season the Mets have designated Figueroa for assignment. Going off of what happened last time around, I assume Figueroa will declare free agency if he clears waivers. I cannot see him re-signing with the Mets after this.
