Mets Add Yan To 40-Man Roster, Send Him Down

The Mets selected Jefry Yan to their 40-man roster and optioned him to Syracuse in the same transaction. The move typically signals that Yan had contract provisions protecting his status, such as an opt-out clause or a clause requiring promotion before optioning. This allows the Mets to preserve roster flexibility while keeping the pitcher in their minor league system.
