Nido became expendable after the Mets acquired Luis Torrens from the Yankees last month, as part of the Mets revolving door of players at the position. Torrens was traded for after the team designated fellow backstop Omar Narvaez for assignment.

Nido, 30, was still under team control through 2026. He was hitting .229 with three home runs this year and is a lifetime .214 hitter.

“Thank you, @mets!” he wrote. “12 years, it was a good run! Wishing the guys nothing but the best.”
