THE Dishes are recruiting an infielder Donovan Walton to a minor league deal.
Much like last offseason, New York placed an emphasis on adding veteran depth pieces to the mix for Triple-A Syracuse early in the winter under David Stearnsand Walton is the latest example.
The 30-year-old was originally selected by the Mets in the 36th round of the 2012 draft, but he opted not to sign and instead played three seasons at Oklahoma State, before joining the Seattle Mariners organization as a as a fifth-round pick.
Since then, Walton has only featured in 70 league matches.
He spent the majority of last season in Triple-A with the San Francisco Giants, where he had a ton of success, recording 28 extra-base hits and an .821 OPS in 99 games.
Most of his experience was in the middle infield positions, but Walton also spent time at third base and left field.
