The Mets have placed shortstop Ruben Tejada on waivers, ESPNNewYork.com’s
Adam Rubin reports. He had agreed to a $3MM deal to avoid arbitration, and
New York will remain responsible for one-sixth of that amount ($500K) if he
is not claimed (or whatever portion of it he does not earn over the course of
the season).
Tejada, 26, has settled in as a slightly below-average hitter and is capable
of playing up the middle defensively. Though he’s generally graded out as an
average defender at short, both UZR and DRS pegged him as a net negative
there last season.
For a player that looks like a solid utility option, there’s been quite a
bit of intrigue in recent months. Tejada suffered a broken leg due to a
controversial take-out slide by Chase Utley during the post-season. He seemed
a plausible non-tender candidate, but was offered a contract by the Mets.
Then, he was awarded an extra day of service time to move up his free-agent
timeline by one year (he’ll be eligible after this season).
Since that time, Tejada has seen his name enter the rumor mill, particularly
with the Cardinals losing Jhonny Peralta for the first half of the year. Per
Rubin, the Mets feel satisfied with their middle infield situation after
adding Asdrubal Cabrera and Neil Walker over the winter, with Wilmer Flores
set to see plenty of action around the diamond.
