• Mets' Donovan Walton: Notches minor-league deal with Mets

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Walton signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training. Walton spent the 2024 season with the Giants organization, going 3-for-22 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored over nine games with San Francisco. He spent the majority of the year with Triple-A Sacramento, batting .303 with seven homers, 51 RBI, 53 runs scored and four stolen bases over 99 contests. The 30-year-old will look to impress with the Mets this spring in order to potentially secure a spot on the 40-man roster for the 2024 campaign.

Most of his time was spent in Sacramento, however, where he slashed .305/.377/.438 with 51 RBI across 387 plate appearances. The 30-year-old infielder now seems destined to remain in the minors to start the 2025 campaign and continue serving as organizational depth.
