Mets' Desmond Jennings: Inks MiLB deal with Mets
Desmond Jennings agreed to a minor-league contract with the New York Mets on Wednesday, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.Jennings was released by the Reds at the end of March after failing to crack the major-league roster out of camp, but he didn't have to wait very long for another offer to arise. The 30-year-old will report to Triple-A Las Vegas, but his extensive major-league experience could help him punch a ticket to the big leagues if anyone in New York's outfield gets hurt.

Desmond Jennings: Released by Reds
Desmond Jennings was released by the Reds on Friday, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer.Jennings showed some power this spring for the Reds, but a .195 batting average ultimately sealed his fate. He has been on a steady decline for the past four years, with his big-league OPS dropping from .748 in 2013 to .631 in 2016. That wasn't enough to unseat any of Cincinnati's outfielders, as they have instead chosen to go with youth in former Cubs prospect Arismendy Alcantara. Jennings has played just 83 major-league games over the past two seasons, and he's going to have a hard time adding to that total after this stinker of a spring.

Reds' Desmond Jennings: Sent to minors camp
Desmond Jennings was reassigned to minor-league camp Tuesday.Jennings was battling for a reserve outfield spot, and it looked like the 30-year-old had a good shot at making the big-league roster with the release of Ryan Raburn. He was just 8-for-41 (.195) throughout spring, however, prompting the Cincinnati Reds to ship him off to the minors to start the season. Jennings does have an opt-out option before Opening Day, which he'll likely utilize in an attempt to latch on elsewhere.

Reds' Desmond Jennings: Roster spot more likely
Desmond Jennings' chances of winning a roster spot got better Monday with the Cincinnati Reds releasing Ryan Raburn.Both Jennings and Raburn were NRI's, so now the Reds only have to clear one 40-man roster spot. There's some chance that the team will keep just four reserve hitters, so Jennings could get more plate appearances than your average backup outfielder.

Reds' Desmond Jennings: Has right hip flexor stiffness
Desmond Jennings' injury has been identified as right hip flexor stiffness, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Jennings said he's not worried about the injury and that he would have played Friday if needed.The outfielder continues fighting for a major league roster spot as a backup. Jennings stole 31 bases in 2012 and no less than 15 in any of his significant major league stints before 2016, so if he could fall into frequent playing time, he could offer cheap steals in mixed leagues. The rest of his offensive game, on the other hand, remains shaky, as seen in his .245/.322/.393 career triple slash.
