Outfielder José Azocar has opted for free agency following his designation for assignment by the Mets, after being outranked in the outfield roster. With limited opportunities, especially behind established players like Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte, he had minimal playing time. Originally with the Padres, he provided speed and defensive skills, recording a batting average of .243 during his tenure. Azocar will be limited to minor league offers but hopes to find a team with fewer outfielders to increase his chances of playing time.
