Davis and Luis Guillorme were the other bench players that were candidates to get the boot off the Mets\u2019 roster, with all three still having minor league options left. Cutting Travis Jankowski, the Mets\u2019 speedy fourth outfielder, would have exposed him to waivers.<\/p>\n<p>Cano arrived in Queens in December 2018 as part of then-GM Brodie Van Wagenen\u2019s first big splash. Van Wagenen traded top prospect Jarred Kelenic and four other players for Cano and closer Edwin Diaz.
