• Mets' Johneshwy Fargas: Back with Mets organization

  03/06/2022 • By RotoWire

  Fargas announced Saturday via his personal Twitter account that he signed a minor-league contract with the Mets. The speedy 27-year-old made his MLB debut with the Mets last season when the team was without numerous outfielders due to injury, but he eventually lost his spot on the 40-man roster in July once the team regained some health. He was then claimed off waivers by the Cubs and made a brief return to the majors, ultimately finishing his first big-league campaign with a .250/.264/.385 slash line in 54 plate appearances between his two stops. Now back with the Mets to begin the 2022 season, Fargas should get the opportunity to attend big-league camp as a non-roster invitee, but he'll be a long shot to win a spot on New York's Opening Day roster.

• Cubs' Johneshwy Fargas: Removed from 40-man roster

  08/18/2021 • By RotoWire

  The Cubs designated Fargas for assignment Wednesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. Fargas was a casualty from the 40-man roster after the Cubs needed to create a spot for their starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Adrian Sampson, whose contract was purchased from Triple-A Iowa. After coming over from the Mets in late July on a waiver claim, Fargas appeared in 13 games for Chicago and hit .269 with one stolen base. Michael Hermosillo should serve as the Cubs' clear fourth outfielder now that Fargas is out of the picture.
