Just days after being designated for assignment and officially released by the Mets, the veteran infielder has joined the Atlanta Braves on a major league deal.
Wendle originally signed with New York this offseason with hopes of him bringing some speed, defensive versatility, and a veteran bat off the bench.
The 34-year-old struggled mightily on both sides of the ball, though, committing numerous physical and mental errors over the opening few weeks of the season.
With the team needing a spark on offense, the Mets decided to part ways and bring up slugging prospect Mark Vientos, who has quickly taken hold of the third base job.
