Mets Send Kyren Paris to Triple-A Syracuse After He Clears Waivers

New York claimed the 24-year-old from the Angels in late October, then designated him for assignment last week.
Because this is his first outright assignment and he has less than three years of major league service, Paris must accept the assignment.
The move lets the Mets keep him as non-roster depth without using a 40-man roster spot.
Paris is known for his speed and defense, but he has struck out often, including in his limited major league playing time.
He will likely get an invitation to spring training and try to earn a place with the major league team.
