Jimmy Yacabonis: Elects free agency

Yacabonis elected free agency Monday.

Yacabonis cleared waivers after being removed from the Mets' 40-man roster but has declined an outright assignment and will look for a gig elsewhere. The righty reliever holds a 6.08 ERA and 107:75 K:BB in 131.2 innings at the major-league level.
