Pham's Free Agency: Mets' Outfield Scramble

About this episode

Tommy Phams brief stint with the New York Mets has ended, as he declined an outright assignment to Triple-A Syracuse and hit free agency. Despite a solid 2023 season with the Mets, hitting .268 with 10 homers and 36 RBIs, he struggled in his recent return, going 0 for 13 with 7 strikeouts in 9 games. The Mets have since replaced him with Austin Slater for outfield depth. With injuries plaguing the Mets outfield, including Juan Sotos forearm tightness and Luis Robert Jr.s lower back issues, Pham could potentially return to the team.
