Mets To Select Deven Marrero

By Anthony Franco | August 31, 2022 at 10:47pm CDT

The Mets are planning to select infielder Deven Marrero onto the major league roster, reports Andy Martino of SNY (Twitter link). New York also plans to recall reliever Adonis Medina from Triple-A Syracuse, Martino adds. That duo will fill the extra two active roster spots with the September expansion from 26 to 28 players. New York will need to make a 40-man roster transaction to accommodate Marrero.

It’ll be the second MLB stint of the season for Marrero. The veteran infielder signed a minor league deal with New York in July and was briefly added to the big league roster a couple weeks ago. He appeared in three games, tallying four plate appearances, before being designated for assignment. After clearing outright waivers, Marrero accepted an assignment back to Triple-A. He’s headed back to the big leagues just a few days later.

Marrero has never been a great hitter, and he carries a .192/.247/.280 line through 371 MLB plate appearances spread over parts of seven seasons. The 32-year-old has posted just a .217/.309/.325 mark with three homers in 36 games with Syracuse this year, bringing his career line at the Triple-A level to .229/.291/.333.

The appeal lies in Marrero’s defensive versatility. He’s best suited for action at third base but capable of manning anywhere on the infield. The former first-rounder has rated as a plus defender at the hot corner throughout his career in the eyes of public metrics, so he’ll offer a glove-first option for manager Buck Showalter. The Mets infield depth has thinned out in recent weeks, with Luis Guillorme and rookie Brett Baty hitting the injured list. Baty is headed for surgery tomorrow to repair a ligament tear in his thumb; he could miss the rest of the 2022 season.

        Vientos hasn’t shown an ability to play 3B well enough and the OF experiment didn’t pan out either. He is a RH first baseman ….Mets have that covered.

      Instead they call up a guy hitting 217 with 3hr in triple who has been DFAed close to 10xtimes in his career. Wtf

        But he has specific tools, defensive tools, that can help late in a game. He’s not there to go up to the plate, he is there to make a play to save a run late in a game. The Mets need that depth with Guillorme out. Much more valuable than Vientos bat for the team right now.

    Gore is a career .237/.334/.274 hitter in the minor leagues and the Mets chose that guy over Jankowski

    You often need more than just a SB guy. I understand Jankowski gets caught stealing more, but he can be a valuable lead off pinch hitter in addition to stealing a base

    But I get that Gore is a more of a guaranteed stolen base

      They dont want gore or janko batting.

      Plus janko was already rostered and eligible for postseason. Gore wasnt but now is.

    Well, it’s apparently obvious Michael Conforto is not going to play in the playoffs this year. With Deven Marrero’s name being called and the Astros not completing their public offer to Scooter.

      Who even knows if Conforto will ever play again, never know how his shoulder will be post surgery.

    Both of them will be sent back down or DFA’d when Carrasco and Guillorme are ready to come off the IL. This is merely a short term thing. And they will also have to make another move when Megill is ready to join the club.

      Hopefully Joely and May are gone by the but Im still holding my breath. Drew Smith should be back soon, then the trio of blown games will be reunited. As I said after the deadline, these moves Eppler made were terrible. Vogelbach can’t run, Ruf and Naquin barely hit, and Givens (who I do think is a good pitcher on another team) just doesn’t pitch well as a Met. It was obvious to anyone that watches Met games that our bullpen stinks. It should of been adressed at the deadline. This team is like a ship with a leak. The leak just keeps on getting bigger and bigger and by the time the postseason comes around, the ship will implode. One injury to Ottavino or Diaz and this team won’t make it past the first round, that is if the Braves don’t pass them by then. I can see why Eppler had such poor results with the Angels, hes terrible. Hes a bad GM that threw tons of money around this offseason, thats why they are in 1st right now after all those horrible moves that were made in the offseason and the deadline

        LFGMets…. Boy oh boy, don’t cross any intersections today because an MTA bus might hit you. You bring negative karma to a new level. Celebrate Nimmo’s catch and DeGrom’s win. The Braves have a west coast swing coming up which will not be easy. Let them play the games and be exciting. They give their fans much more to cheer about than most people. Sounds like sour grapes from someone who was passed over for Eppler’s job.

          And since the trade deadline has passed, the Mets have the 7th best record in baseball( .621) and lost a half game to the Braves who played one less game and lost one less game. You cannot say that the Moves and more importantly the Non-moves the Mets took at the deadline screwed things up for them. In the playoffs, Peterson and Megill are probably in the bullpen too. They have decent arms they can use in the pen after Scherzer-deGrom-Bassitt-Walker.

      His glove got him to the majors and years later it still is. Too bad he was never able to learn to hit. Like many others, had he improved just somewhat, he might have been able to stick.

        I root for him. It was tough watching him get DFA’d a billion times last year. I wouldn’t mind seeing him come back to Boston. Of course, they’ve got a lot of moves to make before they add a superb defender with no bat.

    Eppler is a joke! Thats why the Angels showed him the door. Unfortunately, the Mets had no choice but to grab him last winter, since all the other GM’s were comfortable at there locations. It’s a shame Sterns is not available, he would of been the perfect choice. A New York native and grew up being a mets fan. Also, Eppler lied by saying there was going to be an abundance of relief pitching at the deadline and picked Givens who is mediocre at best. Naquin strikes out a ton, along with Ruff, who they overpaid in JD Davies and 3 prospects?for a 36 yr old aging player? Eppler and Sandy Alderson are horrible and should be fired after this season!

      LFGMets, is that you? Can you just enjoy the team instead of tearing it and its front office down? Yesterday’s game was a masterpiece, pitchers’ duel. With Timmy Trumpet, what’s not to like? Eppler and Sandy are not the problem. Steve Cohen is going to have to open his wallet real wide in the off-season to retain their free agents. I figure they could offer 5 QOs – deGrom, Nimmo, Diaz, Bassitt and Walker – but they’ll want to do everything they can to lock up the first three.

      No front office will ever succeed under Arte Moreno. David Sterns allowed Lorenzo Cain to fail too long at the detriment of the season before cutting him.

      The Mets have a very balanced, no weakest link type team. If anything, the pen needs a LH RP.

      Vientos is a DH. I don’t believe Deven Marrero should’ve ever been DFA.

    Good for Marrero. He make about $3,900 per day while on the MLB roster.
