Payton was traded from the Reds to the Mets on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations.

EDGE Analysis

Payton was designated for assignment by Cincinnati on Monday, but he'll find another spot on a 40-man roster going forward. The 29-year-old hit .182 with two runs in 22 at-bats in the majors this year, and he'll likely report to Triple-A Syracuse to begin his time with his new organization.
