John Mayberry was released by the New York Mets, MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

The Mets designated Mayberry for assignment last week following the additions of Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson to the active roster, and were unable to find a trading partner interested in the 31-year-old outfielder. Mayberry will likely have to settle for a minor-league deal with another team after slashing a pathetic .164/.227/.318 over 59 games with the Mets this season.
