The New York Mets are moving on from one of their veteran depth players.
According to BeisbolFR.com's Francys Romero, the Mets have released infielder Andy Ibanez.
Ibanez primarily played for Triple-A Syracuse before being released by the Mets. In 31 games with the Triple-A club this season, he recorded four home runs, 18 RBI, and a .269 batting average. In 38 total minor-league games split between four different minor leagues this campaign, he had five home runs, 21 RBI, and a .310 batting average.

Ibanez also played three games for the Mets this season before being released, where he posted zero hits in six at-bats but also two RBI. He also had zero home runs, three RBI, and a .118 batting average in 11 games for the Athletics earlier this campaign.
Teams looking for more depth could consider taking a flier on Ibanez. While he has struggled at the major league level this season, he has some MLB success in the past. Due to this, it would not be surprising if he lands a minor league deal soon.
In 434 career MLB games over six seasons split between the Texas Rangers, Detroit Tigers, Athletics, and Mets, Ibanez has posted 28 home runs, 133 RBI, and a .250 batting average.
