Mets cut ties with Hall of Famer's son less than 2 years after signing

Vladi is 19 years old and listed at 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds.

He has played two seasons for the Mets’ team in the Dominican Summer League and struggled.

Across 72 games in two seasons, Vladi has hit .210 with a miserable .285 slugging percentage.

In the two seasons, Vladi had a total of seven doubles, three triples and one home run.

Maybe the only bright spot on his stat sheet was being 6-for-6 stealing bases.

If Vladi wants to continue his baseball career, it’ll have to happen in a new organization.
