Sanchez signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez, 31, spent the duration of the 2023 season at Triple-A Gwinnett in Atlanta's organization, producing a .731 OPS in 117 contests. He's probably headed to Triple-A Syracuse to start 2024, where he'll provide the Mets with some veteran infielder depth.

Atlanta reassigned Sanchez to minor-league Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez managed just two hits in 29 at-bats this spring. He'll provide Atlanta with some veteran utility infielder depth at Triple-A Gwinnett.

Sanchez signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez spent the 2021 season at Triple-A Gwinnett in the Braves organization and he's likely headed back to Gwinnett to start 2023. The 30-year-old utility player saw some brief action in the majors in 2022 with the Red Sox and Mets. He's merely a depth piece at this stage of his career.

Sanchez elected free agency Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez will test his luck on the open market this winter and is unlikely to garner anything more than a minor-league contract from the Mets or another organization. The 30-year-old utility infielder's lone big-league action in 2022 came with the Red Sox, with whom he posted a .322 OPS over 44 plate appearances.

Sanchez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez was designated for assignment by the Mets over the weekend, but he'll stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 30-year-old is 4-for-37 with two RBI and a run scored in 14 big-league games this season.

Sanchez was designated for assignment by the Mets on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez spent a week and a half with the major-league club after being claimed off waivers by the Mets on Aug. 18, but he saw minimal playing time during his time on the active roster. The 30-year-old will lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Eduardo Escobar (oblique) was reinstated from the injured list Saturday.

Sanchez was claimed off waivers by the Mets on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez lost out on playing time late in his stint with the Red Sox and was ultimately designated for assignment Tuesday. He hit just .108 with two RBI and a run over 14 games with Boston to begin the year but will join the Mets' major-league roster as a versatile defensive option while the team deals with various injuries, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. He'll likely play a depth role and could lose his spot on the big-league roster once Eduardo Escobar (oblique) and Luis Guillorme (groin) are cleared to return.

The Red Sox designated Sanchez for assignment Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Sanchez provided steady infield defense over the last month, he's slashed a dreadful .108/.214/.108 in 44 plate appearances this season. He'll now exit the 40-man roster, clearing the way for Enrique Hernandez's (hip) return from the 60-day injured list.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Kansas City, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez had started each of the last four games at the keystone, but his playing time is likely to dip moving forward after Rafael Devers came off the injured list Tuesday. With Devers back in the fold at third base, utility man Christian Arroyo can slide over to second base, where he'll likely play on a regular basis so long as Trevor Story (wrist) remains sidelined. Sanchez hasn't made a case for holding down an everyday role after going 2-for-33 at the plate since his July 22 promotion from Triple-A Worcester.

Sanchez isn't starting Thursday against the Guardians, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez started the last five games and went 2-for-16 with two RBI, three walks and four strikeouts. Jeter Downs is taking over at second base and batting ninth.
