Maybin never reached the ceiling many thought he had back when he was one of the top prospects in the game, but he wound up having a long, solid major league career. All told, the 34-year-old put together a .254/.323/.374 batting line with 72 home runs and 187 stolen bases across 15 seasons for 10 different teams.

Maybin spent the majority of the 2021 campaign at Triple-A Syracuse after appearing in nine games for the Mets back in May. The 34-year-old journeyman outfielder should be able to land a minor-league deal this offseason if he wants to continue his playing career.

Maybin was designated for assignment after he went just 1-for-28 in nine games for the Mets. He can elect free agency, but the market will be limited there, as well. 

Maybin was a sensible add by the Mets after injuries hit, but he went 1-for-28 in nine games and the club has decided it's time to give someone else a shot. Assuming he clears waivers, Maybin can elect free agency if he wants.
