John Delcos over at LoHud is reporting that Ruben Sierra has requested, and recieved, his release.  The 42 year old outfielder would have played with AAA New Orleans had he decided to stay with the Mets organization.  There is no word at this time if he has spoken with other clubs about playing.

I'm sure rumors will float around for the next few weeks, but this late into spring training I'm going to assume that this is it for Sierra. He chances were slim to begin with coming into the spring, I don't think the team had planned on carrying both him and Alou.
