"Vidal Bruján was once a top prospect but hasn't clicked in the major leagues, holding a career batting line of just .199/.267/.276. He has exhausted his options and been bumped into fringe roster territory."
"Bruján and Rortvedt have the right to elect free agency but would have to walk away from the money on their contracts, making it likely they report to Triple-A."
"The Mets are currently rolling without a backup middle infielder, which could create an opportunity for Bruján if he performs well in Triple-A."
Vidal Bruján and Ben Rortvedt were designated for assignment by the Mets and went unclaimed through waivers. Both players can elect free agency but would forfeit their contracts. Bruján, a former top prospect, has struggled in the majors with a .199 batting average. He has a split deal for 2026 worth $850K in the majors and $500K in the minors. Reporting to Triple-A Syracuse, Bruján aims for a potential call-up, especially as the Mets lack a backup middle infielder.
