The Mets acquired Mientkiewicz from the Boston Red Sox on January 26, 2005 in exchange for Ian Bladergroen. He spent his first six seasons in the majors with the Minnesota Twins and established himself as a superior defensive player with a knack for getting on base at the plate. Midway through his seventh season, he was traded to Boston and was part of the 2004 World Champion Sox. Doug spent the 2005 season with the Mets before signing a 1-year deal to play with the Kansas City Royals in 2006. He became a free agent, again, and signed a 1-year deal with the New York Yankees for 2007.
Contract/Options Status: 2006: Team Option Declined 10/31/05 | Red Sox pay $450 K buyout
