Mets Trade Pham for Slater
About this episode
The Mets have released Tommy Pham, a thirteen-year veteran with 149 career homers, after a brief and unsuccessful stint. Despite his experience, Pham failed to deliver offensively, batting just .000 with a .167 OPS in fourteen plate appearances. The Mets are now replacing him with Austin Slater, another struggling outfielder, in hopes of finding a spark before the playoff push.

It's April 27, welcome in. This is New York Met's news today, where team coverage meets AI. The Met's just cut ties with Tommy Fam after only 14 played appearances in his latest New York Stent. They designated the 38-year-old outfielder for assignment right after getting swept in a double-headed by the Rockies. Fam went zero for 13, with just one walk and struck out in seven of those trips to the plate. Got a minor league deal back in March and got called up less than two weeks later, when the Met's needed some offensive punch. But it didn't click this time around, just like his earlier run with the team last year, when they traded him to the Diamondbacks at the deadline. Fam's a 13-year vet, who's bounced around 10 big league clubs, smashing 149 career homers. Still, he hasn't put up an above-average OPS plus over a full season since that 2023 campaign, and fans are scratching their heads over. Another quick exit. Now the Met's are swapping him out one-for-one with Austin Slater, a 33-year-old right-handed
hitter recently cut by the Marlins. Slater struggled too, batting 174 with a 460 OPS and 12 games down in Miami. This move keeps the outfield churning as New York hunts for that spark, before the stretch run heats up quick in the bigs.
