The Yankees release Jon Berti and the Mets let go of a former top prospect before the deadline.

According to reliable sources, Jon Berti, who stepped up as the Yankees' first baseman for three games during the postseason while Anthony Rizzo was recovering from fractured fingers, has been let go by the team before the Friday deadline. Berti was initially brought in by the Yankees last year from the Marlins in a three-team trade after DJ LeMahieu suffered an injury. Unfortunately, Berti himself faced some health issues during his time with the Yankees...

Despite his short stint with the Yankees, Berti made quite an impact as a versatile player, proving his worth in multiple positions on the field. His agility and dedication were appreciated by both the team and the fans, but unfortunately, his recent injuries may have caused some concerns for the management. As a result, the decision to non-tender him was ultimately made.

However, it's worth mentioning that this doesn't necessarily mean the end of Berti's journey with the Yankees. The team could still offer him a minor league contract, which would give him a chance to prove himself and work his way back to the big leagues. Berti's determination and strong work ethic make him a valuable asset and it wouldn't be a surprise if the Yankees decide to keep him in their system.

On the other hand, Berti's departure also opens up opportunities for other players, especially in the first base position. With Rizzo returning to the field and Luke Voit showing promising performance, it'll be interesting to see who will ultimately take on the role of the Yankees' first baseman. As the team prepares for the upcoming season, the management will surely be looking for the best fit to complete their roster and bring home a championship.

In the end, while Berti's journey with the Yankees may have come to an end for now, his contributions and potential will not be forgotten. Whether he stays with the team or moves on to another organization, his hard work and dedication will surely be recognized and appreciated. As for the Yankees, the search for the perfect lineup continues as they strive for another successful season.
