According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, infielder Dilson Herrera has opted out of his contract with the New York Mets.
Herrera, 25, has spent the entirety of the 2019 campaign with the Mets’ Triple-A affiliate Syracuse. The infielder appeared in 117 games for Syracuse, owned a triple slash of .248/.330/.501 with 24 home runs and 64 RBI.
The Colombia native opted out of his deal with the Mets in July, but signed back on before opting out again Sunday. He is now a free agent and is free to sign with any team.
While the MLB rosters expanded on Sunday, Herrera was not on the Mets 40-man roster. With Robinson Cano and Jed Lowrie nearing returns as well, it was unlikely Herrera would have received a promotion.
