Mets and Veteran Outfielder Tommy Pham Agree to a Minor League Contract, AP Source Says
Pham’s deal includes $2.25 million major-league pay, performance bonuses, and an opt-out by April 25, providing outfield depth after a key Mets injury.
- On March 26, 2026, The New York Mets signed Tommy Pham to a minor league deal shortly before first pitch of the Mets-Pirates Opening Day at Citi Field.
- Outfielder Mike Tauchman tore his meniscus last week while competing for an Opening Day roster spot, prompting the team to add Pham as a replacement option.
- This marks Pham's second stint with The Mets, featuring a $2.25 million base salary if he reaches the majors and performance bonuses that could push the total to $3.1 million.
- Top prospect Carson Benge will make the club as the starting right fielder for his major league debut on Opening Day, benefiting from the vacancy created by Tauchman's injury.
- Pham is expected to report to Florida for extended spring training before joining Triple-A Syracuse, with the deal including an April 25 player opt-out clause.
