Mets' Sean Burnett: Latches on with Mets
Sean Richard Burnett signed a minor-league contract with the New York Mets on Wednesday, Ken Davidoff of the New York Post reports.The deal doesn't include an invitation to spring training, so Burnett will open the year in the minors. The veteran left-hander spent most of the 2018 season with the Marlins, compiling a 5.49 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB across 19.2 innings of relief with Triple-A New Orleans. Burnett hasn't pitched in the majors since 2016, and injuries have kept him off the mound for a good chunk of the past six seasons, so don't look for him to play a big role for the Mets in 2019.

Sean Burnett: Let go by Miami
The Marlins released Sean Richard Burnett on Monday, Triple-A New Orleans radio broadcaster Tim Grubbs reports.The end of the road could be near for the 35-year-old Burnett, who has made 380 career appearances (13 starts) in the majors but none since 2016. He was let go by Miami after posting a 5.49 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 19.2 innings at Triple-A, though a 23:5 K:BB and .452 BABIP suggest the latter two ratios probably should have been better. Burnett could land a minor-league deal elsewhere if he intends to continue his career, but he'll face an uphill battle to resurface in the majors with multiple injuries having kept him off the mound for much of the past six years.

Nationals' Sean Burnett: Traded to Nationals
Sean Burnett was traded to the Washington Nationals on Friday and subsequently sent to Triple-A Syracuse, the Washington Post's Chelsea Janes reports.It sounds like the deal might just be for cash considerations or a player to be named later. The veteran southpaw had a nice run with the Nationals from 2009 to 2012, but had spent the entire 2016 season at Triple-A with affiliates of the Dodgers, Braves and Twins. He posted a 1.91 ERA but notched just 28 strikeouts across those stops. He hopes to join the Nationals when rosters expand in September.

Twins' Sean Burnett: Signs minor league deal with Twins
Sean Burnett signed a minor league deal with the Minnesota Twins on Monday, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.After a brief stint with Triple-A Gwinnett, Burnett will join the Twins organization at Triple-A Rochester. Burnett appeared in six games with Triple-A Gwinnett, during which he threw 5.1 innings and allowed a mere three hits. Burnett's ERA is a solid 1.38, but he will have to increase his control, as his WHIP of 1.38 is greatly attributed to him walking seven batters in 13 innings of action this season.
