Nah, JD was only working out with the minor leaguers until he could be added to the 40-man. The Mets have opened a slot by trading Austin Adams (and his impressive HPB stats) to Oakland for cash.* So JD has been activated now.

*Literal cash. They took whatever Scrooge McDuck Fisher had in his wallet at the time. (Allegedly $22 and a bus pass.)

In other news, Shintaro Fujinami has been optioned to Syracuse.
