Mets To Re-Sign Dilson Herrera

By Jeff Todd | July 5, 2019 at 3:50pm CDT

The Mets have reached a minor-league deal to re-sign infielder Dilson Herrera, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network (Twitter link). Herrera had just opted out of his original minors pact with the New York club, but did not find a preferable opportunity elsewhere and elected to return.

Herrera has been off to a rousing start at the plate this year. Through 256 Triple-A plate appearances, he’s carrying a healthy .258/.355/.566 slash with 17 home runs. And it’s easy to forget that he only turned 25 in March.

Nevertheless, while he received other offers to join affiliates, Herrera was unable to command a MLB roster spot. He chose to take his chances on receiving an eventual call-up from the Mets, whose scuffling play could potentially lead to a mid-season sell-off that might create some openings.

Herrera was once seen as a future piece for the Mets, who picked him up in a 2013 swap, gave him a brief but unsuccessful MLB debut, and shipped him to Cincinnati in the middle of the 2016 season. He didn’t reach base enough in a showing last year with the Reds to lay claim to a job there, then re-joined the Mets on a minors deal.

    That was quick. I guess he didn’t have a firm offer before opting out (although I wonder if his agent would have been ascertain that while he was still under contract).

      It often plays out like this: the player tells the team he wants to opt out and asks if that original team will re-sign him in a week if there are no other offers on the table. The player and the agent get this information before actually filing for the opt out.

      In exchange for the team extending this courtesy, the player extends the courtesy of prioritizing that original team. That’s why you often see the minor league player returning to the original team instead of taking a minor-league deal elsewhere.

      This isn’t always the way it goes, but it’s common.

    The dude is raking. I’m surprised a team like the orioles, marlins or tigers didn’t want to sign him to a major league contract. Marlins ought to release Castro at this point. Richie Martin should be a bench bat at this point, Villar moves to shortstop. And the tigers need help anywhere. There’s not much risk in this move

      Everyone in AAA is hitting home runs. They juiced the balls up at the AAA level. 17 home runs is hardly impressive.

        …since you hit soooo many HRs yourself, sure its unimpressive.

        Sit back in your armchair, Alice.

          I hit 127 bombs last week in 32 at bats. It’s not that impressive, cleptool.

          I hit two tonight to raise my total to 129. I also did strike out twice though so now I’m second in AAA in K’s. I raised my ISO by .5, my slugging percentage by .40 and my prospect ranking by +3.

          Well done Scarfish. I asked the ballboy to scope out some lasses in the crowd for post-game. So I’ll hit 128 in an hour.
