Mike Tauchman Signs Minor League Deal with Mets, Eyes Roster Spot

Veteran outfielder Mike Tauchman, 35, has agreed to a minor league deal with the New York Mets, providing additional outfield depth and a legitimate chance to make the Opening Day roster. Tauchman spent last season with the White Sox, appearing in 93 games with a .263/.356/.400 slash line, 9 homers, and 40 RBIs. He previously contributed significantly to the Yankees (2019-21) and played in South Korea (2022) before returning to MLB with the Cubs and White Sox. Known for consistent offensive production and average defense, he will compete for a right field spot, offering valuable lefty depth.
