At his blog for the New York Daily News, Adam Rubin is reporting that Juan Padilla has been released by the Mets. His velocity never returned after two surgeries and had a 9.64 ERA with Triple A New Orleans this year. Padilla pitched with the Mets during the 2005 season.

Tough luck for Padilla, I think we all had pretty high hopes for the guy following the ‘05 season.
