Released by Mets Cano was released by the Mets on Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact The 39-year-old was designated for assignment by New York on Monday, and it's not a surprise he passed through waivers unclaimed and has now been released. Cano had an .896 OPS in 2020 before sitting out the entirety of last season due to his second PED suspension, and he struggled early this year with a .195/.233/.268 slash line and 25.6 percent strikeout rate, which would be a career high by nearly 10 percentage points. The veteran slugger could still receive some interest on the open market, but he may have a hard time finding an everyday spot in any lineup.

Impact Cano will be one of many roster casualties around the league Monday as teams cut from 28 players down to 26. The second baseman hit an excellent .316/.352/.544 in 2020 before missing all of 2021 due to a PED suspension, but he's come nowhere close to that line in 12 games this season, hitting just .195/.233/.268. The Mets had far too many bat-first options and had no room for the 39-year-old, but it's possible he latches on elsewhere with a team that cares more about his performance over the last several seasons than over the last 12 games. He'll have to be granted his outright release before moving on to another organization, however, as none of MLB's other 29 teams will be willing to put in a claim for Cano, whose contract pays him a combined $48 million between 2022 and 2023.
