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

New York cuts the Hall of Famer’s son after two rookie-league seasons marked by light power with a corner-only defensive projection.

Overview

  • Reporter Hector Gomez disclosed the release on December 25, and the Mets have not provided a public explanation.
  • Guerrero signed on January 15, 2024 for a $117,000 bonus plus a $60,000 scholarship after entering pro ball at age 17.
  • Across 72 Dominican Summer League games in 2024–2025, he hit .210 with a .329 on-base percentage and .285 slugging, recording one home run in 214 at-bats.
  • Evaluators noted raw power but questioned defensive flexibility, viewing him as a first-base or designated hitter prospect.
  • Fans urged the Blue Jays to consider him due to family ties, though no offers or signings have been reported.
