CHICAGO -- Vinny Rottino, who was designated for assignment to free a 40-man roster spot for left-hander Justin Hampson, has been claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Indians. Rottino has options remaining and can be sent to Triple-A Columbus.
The Indians designated for assignment right-hander Chris Schwinden, another ex-Met, in order to free up the 40-man roster spot for Rottino. Schwinden originally was claimed off waivers from the Mets by the Blue Jays, and then grabbed again by the Indians off waivers days later.

No pressure, Sandy. Mets' biggest payroll commitments are David Wright ($20M) and Jon Niese ($5M). Plenty of room to spend.

Wouldn't tie Montero's promotion to Wheeler's promotion necessarily. There are placeholders at AAA (ie Carlos Torres). Prospects priority.

If you're not using the tickets this weekend anyway, there's no urgency.

So I would just exhale for a second, let them sort it out internally and get on the same page, then proceed with exchange.
