The Mets announced that theyve designated infielder for a signment. That creates a 40-man roster spot for , who officially signed his free agent contract. New York had claimed De Los Santos off waivers from the Blue Jays within the first few days of the offseason. The 26-year-old had spent his entire career with the Toronto organization until then. De Los Santos signed with the Jays out of the Dominican Republic in 2015. He played eight seasons in the minors and was called up for the first time after the trade deadline. De Los Santos appeared Jonathan Schoop Jersey in 13 games late in the year, hitting .172 with a pair of doubles acro s 31 plate appearances. The righty hitter appeared in 43 contests with Triple-A Buffalo last season. He hit .268/.376/.486 over 154 trips to the plate. That improved his career Triple-A batting line to .228/.343/.393 in parts of three seasons. De Los Santos has shown a decent eye (12.7% walk rate) with below-average contact rates at that level. Primarily a shortstop, he has a decent amount of experience at all four infield positions. New York is likely to put De Los Santos back on waivers within the next few days. He has two option years remaining, so a team could keep him in Triple-A if theyre willing to carry him on the 40-man roster. De Los Santos has never been outrighted and would not have the ability to elect free agency if he goes unclaimed on waivers. Brant Hurter Jersey
