Mets Designate Ty Kelly For Assignment

By Steve Adams | February 9, 2017 at 2:02pm CDT

The Mets announced that they’ve designated infielder Ty Kelly for assignment in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for left-hander Jerry Blevins, whose one-year deal to return to the Mets is now official.

The 28-year-old Kelly made his Major League debut with New York last season, hitting .241/.352/.345 in 71 trips to the plate. Originally drafted by the Orioles in the 13th round of the 2009 draft, Kelly has spent the bulk of his minor league career playing second base and third base, though he does have more than 1000 innings of experience in left field as well. The switch-hitter has a lifetime .275/.382/.383 batting line in 397 games and 1586 plate appearances at the Triple-A level.

    They still need to clear another spot for Salas, I’m thinking DFA candidates are: Montero, Goeddel, Gilmartin, Ynoa, Reynolds

      I think Reynolds could top that list as Cecchini can replicate his output at this point. Also, the Mets don’t have any real pitching depth in the high minors right now so those other guys might be safe. Dunn and Szapucky might still be a season away from major league promotion.

        Considering Gsellman, Lugo, & Ynoa were all brought up due to injuries at the ML level I wouldn’t say their depth is really that bad.

          Gsellman and Lugo helped greatly in 2016 and will be looked on to continue producing this season. That being said, who’s in Las Vegas or Binghamton to help them in 2017, should things go south on the injured pitcher front?

          Answer: no one.
          So Montero, Goeddel and Gilmartin should be safe.

        Skapucki is more like a 2019 call up and Dunn is 2018 if all goes right.

    I’ve always been a Kelly fan. Just wish he could play MLB full time for a year.

          You’re an idiot “overratedsandy”. Literally all you ever do is complain, and never contribute anything remotely constructive.

          Lighten up slim…the Mets will be terrible again regardless. It will be another season where you will spend more time looking at the DL list than statistics.

          Terrible again…WS appearance followed by securing a WC spot despite a ridiculous rash of injuries? Okay…

    Once camp opens, is there anyone on the Mets who will go right to the 60-day DL? Otherwise, someone else gets cut for Salas…I’d bet on Goeddel.

    Kelly is a good utility player with on base skills, someone will probably grab him.

    Kelly is a nice guy to have on the bench or in your minor league system. My guess is someone scoops him up. Yes, Reynolds, could in fact, be the next to go. I really hope the Mets hold onto T.J. Rivera…

      I think they will, too much of a plus bat to expose to waivers… if it were me montero and/or goeddel go before Reynolds… but then again I would’ve kept Kelly

      TJ should be safe. He actually showed he can contribute at the MLB level. He is a good depth piece to have going into the season.
