According to Andy McCullough on Twitter, the Mets have outrighted Nick Evans to Triple-A. Evans, since he’s been optioned approximately 265 times in the past few years, has the right to reject the move and become a free agent.
In the past, Evans stuck around- for instance, at the start of the 2011 season. But at that point, everybody’s rosters were set. Might Evans go elsewhere with the offseason just beginning? Seems like there’s a better chance. Still, the Mets probably offer a fair amount of playing time if Evans sticks around.
Ridiculously optimistic take? Evans and Pridie off the 40-man roster is to make room for some forthcoming new acquisitions. Cross your fingers; I see Clayton Kershaw and Matt Kemp as really good fits for the Mets. Hey, you never know!
