According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, the New York Mets have released infielder Sam Haggerty.
The Mets acquired Haggerty along with Tyler Lockett from the Cleveland Indians in the Kevin Plawecki trade. Haggerty spent most of the 2019 season with the Mets’ Double-A affiliate Binghamton Rumble Ponies.
In Binghamton, Haggerty earned high grades for his defense and his electric speed. He stole 19 bases in 68 games for the Rumble Ponies. Haggerty was also named the New York Mets minor league defender of the year.
Towards the end of the season, Haggerty received a call up to Triple-A Syracuse.
