Mets Sign Tommy Pham for Playoff Push

0:00On March 26, the New York Mets are gearing up for a strong 2026 season after a tough collapse last year. They're adding death by signing former outfielder Tommy FAM to a minor lead deal. This comes as the team eyes a playoff return and prepares for their opening day matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates. FAM has bounced around the majors since getting drafted in the 16th round by the St. Louis Cardinals back in 2006. He debuted with them in 2014, then got traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in 2018 and the San Diego Padres before the 2020 season. Later stops included the Cincinnati Reds, Boston Red Sox, and his first Mets Stint in 2023. During that time in New York, FAM played 79 games, batting 268 with a 348 on-base percentage. He hit 10 home runs, drove in 36 runs, and scored 29 times before getting dealt to the Arizona Diamond Vax mid season. He openly called out the position players for lacking work ethic.

1:00Now the Mets hope FAM can contribute more positively this round, especially from the minors if he earns a spot. His experience could help align a pushing for contention. With moves like this, the Mets keep building toward bigger goals, staying focused on that playoff push ahead. Team coverage, powered by AI. This is New York Mets News today.
