Seth Lugo was released by Houston in early August and the Mets signed him for remainder of 2023.

In order to make room on their roster, they DFA'd Taijuan Walker, who they signed to a 4yr contract this past offseason.

In 11 starts he has had an 3.69 ERA (4.36 FIP).

And yes, Seth Lugo is having his second good season, so why did Houston release him? They are in first place in the AL West too.
