Iglesias is expected to report to Triple-A Syracuse after he said Sunday that he doesn't plan to exercise the opt-out clause in his minor-league deal with the Mets, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being informed Saturday that he wouldn't be included on the Mets' Opening Day roster, Iglesias looked like a candidate to request a release that would allow him to sign elsewhere, but he'll instead stick around in the organization a little longer to begin the season. If a promotion to the majors isn't imminent in the first few weeks of the minor-league season, however, Iglesias could change his mind and pursue an opportunity elsewhere.

Iglesias was informed Saturday morning that he won't be making the Mets' Opening Day roster, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias signed a minor-league contract with the Mets in December. That included an invitation to spring training, and he posted a respectable .294/.333/.471 line with one home run and three RBI over 34 at-bats. It wasn't enough for Iglesias to crack the team's Opening Day roster, but the 34-year-old should provide some veteran infield depth to a team in need of such services in 2024.

The Mets signed Iglesias to a minor-league contract Tuesday with an invitation to major-league spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias did not appear in a big-league game in 2023, though he posted an impressive .317/.356/.537 batting line across 135 plate appearances with the Triple-A affiliate of the Padres. He'll turn 34 years old next month but can offer organizational infield depth for New York in 2024.

Iglesias opted out of his minor-league contract with the Padres on Monday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the third minor-league contract Iglesias has opted out of this season -- once with the Marlins and now twice with the Padres. The 33-year-old shortstop holds a nice .314/.354/.542 slash line through 130 plate appearances in Triple-A. He will presumably now search for an organization that can offer a more direct path to the majors.

San Diego re-signed Iglesias on Tuesday to a minor-league contract.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias went 3-for-5 with two doubles in his return to the Triple-A El Paso lineup. The infielder triggered an out clause in his minor-league pact with the Padres on Friday, but after testing the waters he's back with the San Diego organization for the foreseeable future. Iglesias will have to be added to the 40-man roster if the Padres decide he's worthy of a call-up to the 26-man active group.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias latched on with the Padres after opting out of his minor-league pact with the Marlins in late April and now it appears he's on the move again. The 33-year-old shortstop has batted .276/.330/.414 with one home run across 21 games at the Triple-A level this season. It's not clear whether Iglesias might have a major-league contract in the works somewhere or if he's just decided a promotion to San Diego isn't happening.

Iglesias signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After opting out of his minor-league deal with Miami on Thursday, Iglesias now joins the Padres as an organizational depth piece. The 33-year-old shortstop had a solid season in the majors last year (.292 AVG, .708 OPS), but as long as Xander Bogaerts is in San Diego, it's unlikely that Iglesias gets many reps with the big-league squad.

Iglesias opted out of his minor-league contract with the Marlins on Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After failing to make the Marlins' major-league roster out of spring training, Iglesias is now free to sign with any team he chooses. The 33-year-old shortstop slashed .292/.328/.380 over 467 plate appearances last season with the Rockies, so there should be a handful of teams interested in bringing him on -- likely as a bench piece.

Marlins general manager Kim Ng said Sunday that Iglesias won't make the Opening Day roster but will stay in the organization, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins signed Iglesias earlier this month on a minor-league deal and afforded him the opportunity to compete for a reserve role with the big club, but another veteran non-roster invitee in Yuli Gurriel appears set to beat him out for the bench gig. Iglesias received only 13 plate appearances over five Grapefruit League games, hitting just .167. Iglesias will presumably head to Triple-A Jacksonville rather than immediately opting out of his minor-league deal to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

Iglesias is not considered a lock to make the Marlins' Opening Day roster, Barry Jackson and Craig Mish of the Miami Herald report.

EDGE Analysis

It sounds like there will be just one roster spot for either Iglesias or Yuli Gurriel, both of whom are in camp as non-roster invitees. Which was the team might be leaning out of the two isn't clear. Iglesias, 33, is 2-for-11 in four games so far during Grapefruit League play and "hasn't looked great this spring," per Jackson and Mish.
