Génesis Cabrera elected free agency after making 69 appearances for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2024, ultimately leading to the New York Mets scooping him up on a minor league contract.
Cabrera was previously with the Toronto Blue Jays, although he cleared waivers and elected free agency back on Nov. 4. That opened the door for the 28-year-old to explore his options elsewhere, and he ultimately landed on the Mets.
Toronto acquired Cabrera from the St. Louis Cardinals ahead of the 2023 trade deadline, at which point he was 1-1 with a 5.06 ERA, 1.563 WHIP and a 0.0 WAR on the season. In 29 outings down the stretch with the Blue Jays, Cabrera went 1-0 with a 2.66 ERA, 0.972 WHIP and a 0.2 WAR. Between those two seasons, Cabrera went 8-6 with a 3.41 ERA, 1.235 WHIP, 10.6 strikeouts per nine innings and a 0.3 WAR. Among the 17 NL pitchers who made 90-plus appearances in that span, Cabrera ranked ninth in ERA and sixth in strikeouts per nine innings.
