Mets DFA Oliva, Hammer Heads Up | MLB News
Description
The Mets moved quickly yesterday, sending outfielder Jared Oliva to waivers to make room for pitcher Dan Hammer’s promotion from Triple-A. Oliva, a speedster with defensive versatility, never got a chance to play in the majors after being claimed off waivers from the Giants — and now he’s back in limbo, hoping another team will claim him. With a modest .175/.212/.206 slash line in 66 plate appearances and a solid showing last year at Triple-A, he’s a potential depth piece for teams needing a left-handed bat with legs. If he clears waivers, he could become a free agent — and even refuse a minor league assignment if offered.
