Mets Designate Deven Marrero, Outright Nick Plummer

By Darragh McDonald | August 19, 2022 at 4:40pm CDT

The Mets announced to reporters, including Tim Healey of Newsday, that infielder Deven Marrero has been designated for assignment. That move paves the way for the activation of infielder Yolmer Sanchez, who was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox yesterday. Additionally, outfielder Nick Plummer cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse.

This ends a very brief stay on the roster for Marrero, as the 31-year-old was only selected on Monday. He got into three games but made just four plate appearances before losing his roster spot. He has now played for four big league teams, after previously appearing in games for the Red Sox, Diamondbacks and Marlins.

He was outrighted off the Marlins’ roster at the end of last season and signed a minor league deal with the Mets in July. In 32  games at Triple-A this year, he hit .236/.325/.358 for a wRC+ of 86. Though he’s never been a strong hitter, Marrero does provided defensive versatility. The former first round pick has played second, third and short this year, in addition to having played first base and left field in previous seasons.

With the trade deadline now gone and Marrero DFA’d, the Mets will have no choice but to place him on waivers, either the outright kind of the release kind. Since he’s previously been outrighted in his career, he would be eligible to reject an outright assignment and return to free agency.

The same can’t be said of Plummer, who was signed by the Mets to a major league deal in November, which was his first time joining a 40-man roster. He hit .138/.194/.379 in 14 big league games and .231/.317/.370 in 58 Triple-A games. He was designated for assignment earlier this week and has now cleared waivers. Since this is his first outright and he has less than three years of MLB service time, he is unable to reject the assignment. He will remain with the Mets as depth but without occupying a spot on the 40-man roster.

      He got DFA’d couple days ago to make room for Baty on the 40 man.

      I could’ve used him since the ceiling above my shower broke open late last night. Super’s fixing it now…
      Anyway, Marrero played some decent D while he was up with the Mets. Sanchez could be even better in that regard since he’s a Gold Glover, but his bat isn’t much better.

      He’s only under contract til the end of the season and they needed room for Baty.

        He’s a depth piece that will get DFA’d when Guillorme comes back. Only thing reaching here is your ability to troll.

        I actually rooted for the Braves last year in the playoffs as a Met fan thinking that the other teams fans were obnoxious but from all I have seen on this board from Braves fans who got lucky the Dodgers and Giants slugged it out all year and in the playoffs leads me to believe I was wrong.

          The Braves either have to waste a roster spot on Ozuna for the rest of this year and the next two or pay him $40 million.

          Meanwhile, as a Mets fan, I am thankful the Braves did not pick up Tommy
          Pham at the deadline. Pham massacres the Mets and I doubt the Atlanta front office was unaware of that. I think it is because they are stuck with Ozuna.

        77-43 is hardly a choke. Congrats – you FINALLY beat us in ONE series all year long. Baty is the real deal and we won’t always lose a starter in the second inning of a game – see you again later this year – still up 9-7 on ya brotha. Nice series win for you.

      me too – not a terrible fielder and has pop. I think if he played regular he would be passable.

        Absolutely everything about his entire career says he’s AAAA fodder. Zero indication he’s any good at all.

    Poor Deven Marrero. He gets use like a yo-yo by teams (up, down, up, down). Now that he can no longer get optioned, it’s going to be sign-DFA-sign-DFA. That has to be a tough life.

      Probably not too convenient, but he gets paid a good amount of money to play baseball.

      People would probably to pay to watch me play baseball, but for all the wrong reasons.

      I’m surprised more people in his shoes don’t go to KBO/NPB and be starters/celebrities.

      Marrero made $3.35 million since getting drafted #24 overall in 2012, including a $2 million signing bonus. This 2022 season he’ll be paid at least $200,000.

      About $335,000 annual average over the past ten years isn’t too bad for someone who went to Arizona State “university” and whose alternative career prospects probably reside somewhere between pizza delivery driver and carwasher.
