Short, a Kingston, N.Y., native and former Sacred Heart University standout, was claimed off waivers from the Tigers in November, but after the Mets signed veteran infielder Joey Wendle, he figured he would be designated for assignment.
Short learned his maternal grandmother had passed away Sunday just hours before he was told he had made the team. 'Crazy morning,' he said, noting that his family is 'a lot better now.'
