Mets Add Mike Tauchman on Minor-League Deal
The New York Mets reached an agreement with free-agent outfielder Mike Tauchman on a minor-league deal on Monday, league sources told Will Sammon and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The deal includes a non-roster invitation to major-league spring training. The 35-year-old veteran hit .263/.356/.400 with a .756 OPS, nine home runs, 40 RBI, and 44 runs scored in 93 games played for the Chicago White Sox in 2025 and will now head to the National League East to give the Mets more outfield depth. He made 73 appearances in right field, and the Mets have an open spot in right, with superstar Juan Soto moving to left field. Top prospect Carson Benge has a shot at making the Opening Day roster as a right fielder, but it's not set in stone. Brett Baty, Tyrone Taylor, and MJ Melenders are others who will be competing with Tauchman for playing time in right field this spring. At best, Tauchman could be on the strong side of a platoon in right for the Mets until Benge is ready.
