New York Mets Acquire Veteran Infielder From Twins
In this story:
They're boosting their depth in the upper levels of the minor leagues.
On Tuesday, the New York Mets acquired first baseman/third baseman Tyler White from the Minnesota Twins.
White was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse afterward.
White has not appeared in the major leagues since the 2019 season, where he played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros. In 256 career big-league games, White has 26 home runs and a .752 OPS.
In 16 games at the Triple-A level this season, White slashed .259/.386/.414 with two homers and three doubles.
The Mets also reinstated reliever Jimmy Yacabonis from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. They ultimately decided to designate Yacabonis for assignment.
