Mets Place Ruben Tejada On Release Waivers

By Steve Adams | August 27, 2019 at 3:08pm CDT

The Mets have requested unconditional release waivers on infielder Ruben Tejada, tweets Jon Heyman of the MLB Network. He’ll be a free agent in 48 hours if he clears.

Tejada, 29, returned to the Mets earlier this month — his first appearance with his original MLB organization since the 2015 postseason. He went hitless in nine plate appearances but has enjoyed a strong season in Triple-A Syracuse, where he’s posted a .330/.408/.476 batting line through 304 plate appearances. The majority of Tejada’s time in Triple-A this season was spent at third base, but he’s also logged innings at second base and shortstop.

Tejada, who bounced from St. Louis to San Francisco to Baltimore between Mets stints, is familiar with all three positions and has played each extensively in the Majors (shortstop in particular). He’s a career .250/.324/.317 batter in 2396 plate appearances as a big leaguer.

    He seems like he’s a good guy. Hopefully he lands on the right team.

    I thought he would accept the assignment to Syracuse to help them fight to make the International League (AAA) playoffs, then possibly come back during September. Obviously, he thinks he can get on a contender’s roster now so he’d be eligible to play in the postseason. Good luck to him.

        I think he’s talking about his dad’s reaction to having a failure of a child.
