New York Mets DFA Vidal Brujan Before Reds Series

The New York Mets have made a significant roster move ahead of their series against the Cincinnati Reds. On Monday, the Mets lost 12-0 to the Reds, but the real news came when they designated infielder Vidal Brujan for assignment. According to Chelsea Janes, a Mets reporter, the move is likely a corresponding action for the recent waiver claim of Zack Short from the Detroit Tigers. Short is expected to join the Mets on Tuesday. Brujan, a 6-year MLB veteran, has struggled to make an impact with the Mets, recording only one hit in 11 at-bats this season. He has a career batting average of .197 and an OPS+ of 53, which is well below average. Despite his speed and fielding ability, Brujan's lack of production at the plate has made it challenging for him to stay on an MLB team. The Mets can now either release or trade Brujan, who may enter free agency if he passes through waivers. The team's decision will be closely watched, as Brujan's career has been marked by his ability to adapt to different teams and roles. With his speed and defensive skills, he could still be a valuable asset for the Mets or another team in the league.
