Mets Release Johneshwy Fargas, Outright Nate Fisher

By Steve Adams and Anthony Franco | August 26, 2022 at 8:56pm CDT

The Mets have released outfielder Johneshwy Fargas and infielder Tzu-Wei Lin from their Triple-A affiliate in Syracuse, per Baseball America’s Chris Hilburn-Trenkle. They’ve also assigned lefty Nate Fisher to Syracuse after he passed through outright waivers unclaimed, Mike Puma of the New York Post tweets.

Fargas, 27, made his big league debut with the 2021 Mets after their outfield was hit with a barrage of injuries last summer. Fargas himself fell victim to that injury deluge after just seven games, suffering a sprained AC joint when colliding with the outfield wall on a leaping catch. He went 6-for-21 with a few highlight-reel moments in the outfield that, paired the effusive energy he displayed on both sides of the ball, made him a quick fan favorite in Queens. Fargas was designated for assignment, claimed by the Cubs, and eventually returned to the Mets on a minor league deal over the winter.

It’s been a tough season in the minors for Fargas, who carries a combined .212/.305/.340 batting line in 301 plate appearances between the Double-A and Triple-A levels. He’s still gone 28-for-30 in stolen base attempts, underscoring speed that allows him to provide value both on the bases and in the outfield. He’s played all three outfield positions in the minors this season, though the bulk of his time has been spent in center.

Fisher, meanwhile, just received his first major league call over the weekend. The 26-year-old tossed three scoreless innings of mop-up work and was promptly designated for assignment. After going unclaimed on waivers, he’ll head back to Syracuse, where he has a 3.12 ERA across 43 1/3 frames in 12 appearances (ten starts). The Nebraska product remains in the organization but no longer occupies a spot on the 40-man roster.

    Did Fargas’s parents name him after playing in a Scrabble tournament?

    Paul sporer from fangraphs used to call him Jones Highway.

    That was kinda funny albeit it’s really not correct to make fun of “ethnic names”. Of course you could also argue that many of those “ethnic names” aren’t authentic african/latin/indigenous either but then again those people are not really African or native latin American so they are having their own culture and we shouldn’t make fun of that.

      It’s not really an ethnic name is it? I think it’s just made up. Not being able to pronounce it from the spelling is pretty much inevitable.
