The Mets have released outfielder , The Athletics Will Sammon reports ( ). Rosario signed a minor league deal just 10 days ago, but hell now leave the organization after seven games with Triple-A Syracuse. Rosario didnt have much succe s in his brief time in Syracuse, as he posted just a .444 OPS with eight strikeouts over 30 plate appearances. It continues what has been an altogether rough 2024 season for the former NLCS MVP, as Rosario has hit .175/.215/.316 over 319 combined PA at the big league level with the Nationals and Braves. Washington signed Rosario to a minor league deal last winter, and the Nationals are still on the hook for most of the remainder of Rosarios $2MM salary. (The Braves only covered the prorated portion of the Major League minimum salary for Patrick Marleau Jersey Rosarios 24 games on their roster.) Signing Rosario to a minors deal was therefore a no-risk move for the Mets as a way to seeing if a change of scenery could spark the veteran, but New York will now also move on from Rosarios services. While his results this season dont exactly inspire confidence, it is worth remembering that Rosario was still a league-average hitter in the majors just last season, when he hit .255/.305/.450 with 21 home runs over 516 with Atlanta. It speaks to the overall hot-and-cold nature of Rosarios big league career that he has an exact 100 OPS+ over his 10 MLB seasons, plus a 97 wRC+ that checks in slightly below the average mark. This track record means that it wouldnt be surprising to see another club take a flier on Rosario for a minor league deal. Signing with a new team prior to September 1 would make Rosario eligible for postseason play, as his past succe s in the playoffs makes this detail noteworthy even if Rosario hasnt looked worthy of a 26-man roster spot, let alone a spot on a postseason roster. Given his struggles, Rosario might just be looking to catch on with any team (contender or non-contender) that can offer him a path back to the majors, and a chance to salvage something from a rough season.
