Mets Roster Moves: Mets sign José Iglesias to a minor league deal

 


The New York Mets announced via X/Twitter that they have signed SS/INF José Iglesias to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training.  

A solid defender, Jose will turn 34 in January.  Jose last played in the majors in 2022 for the Colorado Rockies slashing .292/.328/.380.  A Free Agent after the 2022 season, he signed a minor league deal with the Marlins in March 2023 only to be released in April.  He later signed a minor league deal with San Diego but was released last June.

He will provide MLB Veteran depth at Syracuse which likely will be loaded with Infield Prospects, Luisangel Acuna, Jeremiah Jackson, Jose Peroza and maybe even Jett Williams.  Acuna is already on the MLB roster and could be the first of that group to be called up if needed.  

He will be eligible for the Rule 5 Draft this Thursday.  Believe it or not, every now and then a minor league player like this gets taken in the Rule 5.
