There’s a new name on the free agent market: Dom Smith.

The seven-year major leaguer opted out of his minor league contract with the New York Yankees organization and is now on the market.

Smith has yet to play a major league game this season. He signed a minor league deal with the Yankees in the offseason, but used his opt out clause after he failed to make the Yankees’ major league roster out of spring training.

Nine days later, on March 30th, he re-signed with the organization on a new minor league deal. Now, he has opted out a second time, exercising his June 1st clause to declare free agency.

He played 45 games for New York’s Triple-A club, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, slashing .255/.333/.448 with eight home runs and 28 RBI.

For a veteran like him, those numbers aren’t all that impressive. But Smith had a huge May, where he slashed .317/.389/.622 with seven home runs and 22 RBI. He was also a perfect 4-for-4 in stolen bases.

His second month in the International League salvaged what was an abysmal April, where the 29-year-old was hitting well below the International League standard.

With that surge with the RailRiders in May, along with his big league résumé that has him as a career league average, it’s certainly possible there will be takers for him.

Should the Pirates be one of them?
