Mets cut ties with catcher Gary Sánchez.
The New York Mets have designated catcher Gary Sánchez for assignment and reinstated Tomás Nido from the 10-day injured list. Sánchez, who has one RBI and zero home runs through just three games played, was called up on May 18. Nido's improved vision and Francisco Alvarez's terrific all-around play made it easier to end the experiment with Sánchez. Alvarez will continue to catch his share of games, while Nido will also get playing time to test where he is with everything. The Mets now have a week to trade Sánchez or pass him through waivers.
