Former Oakland A’s outfielder Josh Reddick had seemingly landed on his feet once again. After being released by the Diamondbacks, he had signed a minor league deal with the Mets. As the Mets had been dealing with seemingly constant injuries on their roster, Reddick had a chance to find his way back to the majors.
That never happened. He decided to exercise his opt-out clause, leading to his being released by the Mets.
