The winter league experiment has come to a quick end for New York Mets’ infielder Dominic Smith. Smith is leaving his Dominican team, Toros Del Este, after just seven games, MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo reports<\/a>. The team released Smith due to a disagreement over how to deploy the player. Smith agreed to participate with the expectation that he would get regular playing time in the outfield, a position the Mets began having him play during the course of the 2018 season. Toros Del Este preferred to use Smith at his natural position of first base, so the parties made a mutual decision to part ways.<\/p>\n
