Austin Slater was outrighted by the Mets to Triple-A Syracuse, with no confirmation yet on whether he will accept or elect free agency. Slater can remain a free agent while keeping a guaranteed $1MM in 2026 due to his contract terms and more than five years of MLB service time. He has produced limited offense across 49 combined plate appearances for Miami and New York. Drew Blach cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa after a brief Cubs call-up and subsequent DFA. He can reject the outright assignment for free agency or return to Iowa. Aaron Brooks accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Durham after a DFA, making his first MLB appearance since 2024 in a one-game cameo.
"Aaron Brooks pitched for Triple-A Durham yesterday, indicating that the right-hander accepted his outright assignment to the Rays' top affiliate. Brooks was outrighted last Sunday and he had the ability to elect free agency, but it looks like the righty has opted to stay in Tampa's organization. Like Blach, Brooks was also making his first MLB appearance since 2024 in his own one-game cameo back in the Show, though Brooks' lone outing was much rockier. He was charged with three earned runs in one-third of an inning of work in the Rays' 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays on May 13."
