Joze Azocar elects free agency, Génesis Cabrera to sign with Cubs

José Azocar and Génesis Cabrera, two veterans recently designated for assignment by the Mets, are either seeking or have already found new organizations. Azócar has elected free agency after the Mets outrighted him following his DFA, and Cabrera is set to sign a major league contract with the Cubs. Both players started the 2025 season in Triple-A Syrcause before getting called up to the Mets’ major league roster.

In just 20 plate appearances, Azocar hit .278/.350/.278 with an 88 wRC+, and he only got into 12 games after the Mets called him up from Triple-A Syracuse.
