The Mets and outfielder Cristian Pache are in agreement on a minor league deal with a non-roster invite to MLB spring training. Pache, a former top prospect, has experience at all 3 OF spots and last appeared in the majors in 2024

1. Not a bad signing. It’s never a bad thing to have a former top prospect in your system for next to nothing.

2. “Former top prospect” turned straight cheeks. Welcome to the Mets, Cristian!

3. Dollar Tree version of Siri? I know his game was speed. Anything to give Taylor a run for his money for his roster spot is fine with me.

5. Cheap minor league depth and a long shot chance at spring training. This is fine. Not major news, but fine. Very much a Stearns pickup: inexpensive, short term, potential upside but nothing really lost if it doesn’t pan out.

6. Now we’re cooking with gas

7. Signings like this serve as a litmus test for who knows ball in the comments.

8. Yes keep stacking up minor league players under the .550 OPS line for Stearns’ collection. Braves sign Suarez, Phillies sign Garcia while Stearns is winning the offseason of minor league scrubs

9. Hope to never see him in the big leagues.

10. Only the Mets get graphics and all the major reporters tweeting about minor league contracts and spring training invites lol

    Honestly can’t blame them, it’s so easy engagement from the fan base on X. 

11. Wake me up when September ends, because I won’t have to deal with any more miserable Mets baseball for an entire year and a half

12. Dollar general Dave

13. Just once it would be fun to have the random dude who has a massive breakout outta nowhere. The reverse Jason Bay, if you will.

    I guess RA Dickey was as close as I can recall to that.

14. Another harmless signing most useful for people to know who to block on here

15. Stearns Dumping and Hauling at work pulling another gem from the bin

16. Does he sing?

17. We got our guy!

18. Gunning for the AAA championship this year! Its a good time to be in Syracuse!

19. Good minor league signing. As I think about it, I think Pache is what Scott was worried PCA would be when he did the Baez trade. He was wrong lol. At least we’ve got good CF defense depth, won’t kid myself into thinking Pache is going to figure out major league pitching. The Mets will look like geniuses if he does though.

20. Whatever it takes to fill our outfielder pool large enough that there’s not a chance in hell Ji Hwan Bae plays a single inning for this team

22. This can’t be any further from breaking news

23. 27 year old career minor leaguer. Stearns is a genius.

24. Looks like we’re using the CNN / Fox News definition of “breaking”.

25. Dollar General Dave at it again.

26. I’m serious when I say that I’d be more excited if we signed bartolo colon to actually play baseball.

27. World Series here we come. Stearns is a genius

28. Signing is fine.

    Not breaking news.

    Move along with your day.
