Mets cut ties with Gary Sánchez after short stint.

The New York Mets have designated veteran catcher Gary Sánchez for assignment after just six days, three games, and seven plate appearances. The move was made to make room for Tomás Nido, who was activated from the injured list. Francisco Alvarez's recent hot streak also played a factor in the decision. The Mets now have seven days to trade Sánchez or place him on outright waivers.
