The Mets have released Syracuse slugger Luke Voit at his request so he can seek a major league spot elsewhere.

Rough. Rough to watch Michael Peréz get a call to be third string catcher while you're waiting by the phone.

Good call. What was the deal there? Was it a 40-man-roster issue?

Well, the Mets have the position of heavyweight DH amply filled, but at least he's a righty, and so provides an alternative to DJ Stewart and G-Man.

Seems to be something of a gaggle of guys with connections to Mendoza from youthful times in the Yankee system.

He certainly is large enough to fill any void.

Slugged .643 at Syracuse last year—that's impressive. Led the league in home runs in the shortened 2020 season, which raised his stock a bit, as I recall.

Voit looks to be the insurance at RH DH in case Vientos fails.
And I think that makes the signing of JD Martinez less of a possibility.

Another underwhelming Mets signing!

Montgomery and Snell still out there...
