Infielder Eric Wagaman has elected free agency, according to his transactions log at MLB.com. That was the expected outcome after the Mets outrighted him off the 40-man roster a week ago. He’s now on the market as a low-cost, minor league depth option.
Wagaman debuted with the Angels in 2024 and elected free agency at the end of that year following a DFA. He signed with the Marlins for the 2025 season and went on to take 514 plate appearances in 2025, his largest big league sample to date. Unfortunately, Wagaman struggled mightily at the plate en route to replacement-level numbers.
