Mets To Select Pablo Reyes

By Nick Deeds | August 31, 2024 at 10:32pm CDT

The Mets are poised to select the contract of infielder Pablo Reyes when rosters expand tomorrow, per a report from Joel Sherman of the New York Post. A corresponding active roster move won’t be needed due to roster expansion, and the Mets’ 40-man roster already has a spot open to accommodate Reyes after the club designated outfielder Ben Gamel for assignment earlier this month.

Reyes, who will celebrate his 31st birthday on Thursday, began the season as a member of the Red Sox but was designated for assignment and outrighted to the minors after he cleared waivers. Once Reyes had been removed from the 40-man roster, the Mets worked out a deal with Boston to acquire the versatile infielder in a cash deal back in May. Since then, Reyes has been playing for the club’s Triple-A affiliate in Syracuse with fairly strong results. In 57 games with Syracuse, Reyes has slashed .285/.364/.470 while splitting time between second and third base as well as shortstop.

Impressive as that slash line is, it can hardly be expected that he’ll post anything close to that down the stretch for New York. After all, Reyes has participated in parts of six MLB seasons and sports a career slash line of just .248/.309/.349 in 572 trips to the plate. His best stretch of his career came with the Red Sox last year, when he posted a roughly league average .287/.339/.377 slash line in 185 trips to the plate as a part time player. With that being said, if Reyes can post a slash line around that level while playing strong defense all around the infield, he’ll be a useful addition to a Mets infield mix that currently has only a slumping Jose Iglesias to back up the club’s primary infield of Mark Vientos, Jeff McNeil, and Francisco Lindor.

Reyes won’t be the only player joining the Mets in the aftermath of tomorrow’s roster expansion, as manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters (including those at SNY) that left-hander Alex Young will be recalled tomorrow to act as the club’s extra pitcher. Young, 31 next week, was claimed off waivers from the Giants back in July and has looked extremely good in nine innings of work at the major league level between the Reds and Mets this year. In that limited sample size, the lefty has a 1.00 ERA with a 21.6% strikeout rate.

While that’s certainly not enough of a sample size to project much off of, it’s worth noting that the lefty also has a strong 2.81 ERA in 31 appearances at the Triple-A level this year and pitched to a 3.36 ERA in 88 appearances in the majors between 2022 and ’23. At the very least, Young figures to offer the Mets another intriguing left-handed option down the stretch in a bullpen that currently only features Danny Young in terms of southpaws.

    It looks like Acuña will remain in Syracuse to get regular playing time since Pablo Reyes is the one getting the call.

      Acuna will remain in Syracuse because he has not yet shown that he can hit at triple-A, much less the major leagues.

    Iglesias has had such an interesting career. He’s been on a bunch of teams and contributed but seems like he has never found a home.

      He had a home for 5 years in Detroit in his prime, and failed to produce offensively in 4 of those years. He produces sporadically and in small doses. Thats why he never found a home.

    Can Nick Deeds even write in proper English 100% of the time like other professional writers? Because a sentence beginning “impressive as that slash line is” is not correct grammar. “As” has to start the sentence and it’s not optional. MLBTR appears to use AP style but this sure isn’t in that book. Casual language is not becoming of professional journalism.

      I don’t know that I would classify this site as professional journalism but aside from that his sentence structure is perfectly fine grammatically.

        They’re making money writing, so it is. And no, it’s not proper grammar. Try it with an English teacher.

    I loved Pablo when he was with Boston. While average across the board, he was still a valuable piece, well liked among his team mates and versatile. He was liked by the fans as well.
