Outfielder Oscar Mercado has opted out of his minor league contract with the Phillies, who subsequently released him, prompting his return to the open market. A former standout in 2019, Mercado has struggled in the majors since, but has shown promise in Triple-A with a .252/.373/.385 line and 35 stolen bases, potentially increasing his chances of securing a big league opportunity following trade deadline moves.
