Former Mets, Current Situations 2024
Re: Former Mets, Current Situations 2024
Not only escaped a minor-league deal with the Reds to sign with the Sox, and not only got added to the roster, he was in the lineup tonight and went 1-for-4 with an RBI single to put Boston up 5-2 in the fifth.

Patrick Mazeika and Jack Reinheimer are playing for Gastonia in the Atlantic League, managed by Mauro “Goose” Gozzo.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.
Re: Former Mets, Current Situations 2024
The Angels are reportedly picking up Luis Guillorme from the Braves.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.
Re: Former Mets, Current Situations 2024
He should finally get some serious PT there. The Angels have, like, five injured infielders, along with Trout out of the lineup.

I suspect the Braves acquired Guillorme only to punish him for being so awesome at baseball

Joins Met greats who've gone on to become Angels like Kirk Niuwenhuis and Hansel Robles

Re: Former Mets, Current Situations 2024
Yeah, there's definitely that guy!
I also thought of Craig Swan, who had a brief cup of coffee with the Angels after the Mets gave up on him.
EDIT: Swan had two games with the Angels in 1984, one start and one relief appearance. He pitched a total of five innings and was 0-1 with a 10.80 ERA.
Despite his brief stint with the Angels, he did manage to get a Topps baseball card:

Swan was back in camp with the Angels in ’85 and was a late cut.

Re: Former Mets, Current Situations 2024
I went to see the Palm Beach Cardinals and Jupiter Hammerheads last night. Our old friend Bernard Gilkey is the defensive coach for the Cardinals. Something cool about seeing an established veteran like Gilkey coaching in the low-A minors. He made $26 million over the course of his career, so I'm assuming its a labor of love.
Re: Former Mets, Current Situations 2024
I learned over the weekend that Bernard Gilkey’s 1996 Met teammate Charlie Greene has been coaching Milwaukee Brewer catchers for a while.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

From Jeff Passan:
Some J.D.s are hotter than others of late.Infielder J.D. Davis was designated for assignment by the Oakland A's, sources tell ESPN. Davis was cut by San Francisco in spring training and received only $1.1M of his $6.9M salary before signing with Oakland for $2.5M. If he's not traded by Oakland, he'll be a free agent.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

Ali Sanchez sent from the Cubs to the Marlins.

Float like a butterfly ... down to Miami in a non-waiver cash deal for an undisclosed sum and immediately outrighted to Jacksonville.
Re: Former Mets, Current Situations 2024
The Blue Jays have released Daniel Vogelbach.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

Could it be that Simeon Woods-Richardson is pitching for the Twins?
