Jose Siri’s time with the Mets ends after only 16 games as New York DFA’d the electric outfielder to clear a postseason roster spot. He struggled to hit (.063) but remained valuable on the bases and in the outfield, leaving a disappointed but not unplayable résumé for future clubs. The move comes as the Mets press for a playoff berth with Reds and Diamondbacks right on their heels.

The decision underscores late-season roster gymnastics around contending teams, where every bench option and baserunning threat is weighed for October. Fantasy players should watch Siri’s next landing closely, especially if a new club values speed and defense as a short-term postseason boost, while also noting the Mets’ ongoing depth concerns and Soto’s ongoing pace on the bases in Mets-related headlines.
