Mets Bring In Arias for Infield Flexibility | MLB News

The Mets just snagged veteran infielder Gabriel Arias off waivers from Cleveland, giving them a versatile, cost-effective solution to their thin infield depth. With Mark Vientos sidelined and Brett Baty shifting to the outfield, Arias’ ability to play all four infield spots could be exactly what they need — especially since he’s under team control through 2030 and won’t hit arbitration until 2027. Though his numbers with the Guardians weren’t flashy, he showed he can handle major league pitching and has the defensive flexibility to fill multiple roles. If he shines in Queens, he might just force a tough decision about Vientos’ future — and possibly close the book on his time with the team.
