Mets Release 19-Year-Old Outfielder Vladi Guerrero After Two DSL Seasons

The move follows two underpowered seasons in the Dominican Summer League.

Overview

  • The transaction was first reported by insider Hector Gomez and widely amplified on social media, including a SleeperMets post citing his report.
  • Guerrero signed with New York on January 15, 2024, for a $117,000 bonus plus a $60,000 scholarship as an international free agent from the Dominican Republic.
  • Across 72 DSL games in 2024–2025, he hit .210 with a .329 on-base percentage and .285 slugging, logging seven doubles, three triples, one home run, and six steals in 214 at-bats.
  • Scouting notes in coverage highlighted raw power but limited defensive versatility, with some projecting a future at first base or designated hitter.
  • He is now a free agent, and while fans have urged the Blue Jays to consider him, there is no confirmed interest from any team.
