Alexander Canario belted a solo homer and walked twice on Saturday in a loss to the Reds.
Pirates acquired OF Alexander Canario from the Mets for cash considerations.
Canario represents an intriguing addition for the Pirates since he’ll have a much clearer path to at-bats than he had previously with the Mets. The 24-year-old former top prospect was jettisoned from New York’s 40-man roster last week and should get a chance to contribute in Pittsburgh. We’d recommend a wait-and-see approach for fantasy purposes, but he’s a name to watch in deeper mixed leagues to see if it ever comes together.
Mets designated OF Alexander Canario and OF José Azocar.
It’s a little surprising no outfielder-needy team sent some cash the Mets’ way in return for Canario. The Rockies’ signing of Mickey Moniak might take them out of the picture here, but he’d still make plenty of sense for the Marlins. Canario’s big finish gave him a .306/.419/.611 line this spring, and he’s still just 24 years old.
Alexander Canario had two homers, including a grand slam, in the Mets’ 10-2 rout of the Marlins on Sunday.
He also singled. When we checked in on Canario a week ago, he was just 3-for-25 with a .621 OPS this spring. Now he’s 11-for-35 with a 1.058 OPS. He still doesn’t make sense for the Mets roster, but it seems far more likely now that he’ll be claimed by some team (Colorado?) if he goes on waivers.
