The New York Mets face a significant challenge in their infield depth following Nick Madrigal's shoulder fracture, which sidelines him indefinitely. This injury intensifies the club's search for a utility infielder. However, despite Madrigal's absence, President of Baseball Operations David Stearns has indicated that a return for Jose Iglesias is unlikely due to roster flexibility concerns, particularly because Iglesias cannot be sent to the minors without his consent. With a small number of roster spots available, the Mets must navigate their options carefully as they manage injuries and service time limitations.
"Iglesias was an excellent find for New York last year on a minor league deal... He emerged as a clubhouse and fan favorite."
"President of baseball operations David Stearns downplayed the possibility of re-signing Iglesias... citing a desire to have someone with minor league options taking the final bench spot."
