Mets Add Pham for Playoff Push

0:00On March 26th, the New York Mets are rebuilding after last year's brutal collapse. They started with the best record in baseball at 45 and 24, but finished 31 and 47 since then, missing the playoffs. Entirely, this offseason, they've made big moves to avoid a repeat. On opening day, they added Outfielder Tommy Fam with a one-year minor league contract worth $2.25 million if he makes the majors. He also has an opt-out on April 25th. Fam will start in AAA to get back up to speed. The Mets have Ricky Carson Benjen right feel for his big league debut, but back up Mike Talkman is sidelined with a meniscus tear from spring, training. Fans and analysts see this as smart depth insurance, especially with Benjay's limited experience of just 116 pro games. It keeps pressure off the young guy against Major League pitching. With a stacked roster now, the Mets live primed for a playoff push. Manager Carlos Mendoza knows the stakes are high, and Fam could be the steady hand they need if things get shaky early.
