Blanco accepted a job with MLB as a Senior Director of Baseball Operations, freelance baseball writer Robert Murray reports. Blanco has decided to call it quits after spending all of the 2019 season in the minors. The 36-year-old outfielder played with four different teams across 10 seasons, notably winning a pair of World Series titles with the Giants in 2012 and 2014. Blanco posted a career .255/.338/.348 slash line across 1,060 big-league games.

The Mets reassigned Blanco to minor-league camp Sunday. Blanco received an invite to spring training after signing a minor-league deal in December, yet he did little to illustrate he should be in the majors with a .194/.206/.194 slash line over 34 plate appearances. The 35-year-old should serve as organizational outfield depth, assuming he remains with the Mets.

Blanco inked a minor-league deal with the Mets on Friday, Jon Heyman of Fancred Sports reports. Blanco spent the 2018 campaign with the Giants, playing in 68 games for the big-league club while spending the rest of his year at Triple-A Sacramento. During his time with San Francisco, he slashed a dismal .217/.262/.317 with two home runs, 12 RBI and six stolen bases. The 35-year-old will provide a little extra outfield depth in the Mets' system.

Blanco is out of Friday's lineup against the Dodgers, Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group reports. As usual, Blanco will find himself on the bench with a left-hander (Hyun-Jin Ryu) on the rubber. Gorkys Hernandez will patrol center field for the series opener.

Blanco is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Padres, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Blanco will sit for a second straight game as the Giants stack righties against southpaw Robbie Erlin. Gorkys Hernandez is starting in center field and hitting seventh in this one.
