The Mets acquired White from the Twins on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports. White showed encouraging flashes several years ago when he first arrived on the MLB scene with the Astros, but he hasn't played in a game at baseball's highest level since 2019. The 32-year-old was batting .259/.386/.414 with two home runs through 70 plate appearances this season with the Triple-A affiliate of the Twins.

White was reassigned Thursday to the minor-league side of Twins camp, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. White landed a non-roster invite to Twins camp over the winter, but he never stood much of a chance of cracking the Opening Day squad. The 32-year-old hasn't appeared in a major-league game since 2019, when he had a .612 OPS in 83 contests.

White signed a minor-league contract with Minnesota on Monday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports. White showed promise with an .888 OPS in 66 games for the Astros in 2018, but he followed that up with a .612 OPS in 83 games the next year and hasn't returned to the majors since. Now 32 years old and coming off a year in which he hit a modest .230/.357/.412 at the Triple-A level, he has an outside shot at best of breaking camp with the team.

Atlanta acquired White from Milwaukee on Tuesday in exchange for cash. The 31-year-old White had produced at an above-league-average level for Triple-A Nashville this season (.788 OPS, 113 wRC+), but the Brewers were presumably keen on opening up playing time at their top minor-league affiliate for younger players. White will fill a similar organizational depth role for Atlanta, with any potential call-up to the majors likely to hinge on the team losing any of its first-base or designated-hitter options to injuries over the final six weeks of the season.

The Brewers reassigned White to their minor-league camp Monday. White has logged 859 career plate appearances at the MLB level between stops with the Astros and Dodgers, but he hasn't surfaced in the majors since 2019. After a one-year stint in South Korea in 2020, White returned stateside in 2021 and spent the entire campaign with the Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo. He's expected to head to Triple-A Nashville with his new organization for the start of the 2022 season.
