Mets Sign Veteran Outfielder Austin Slater to Minor League Contract

The New York Mets are bolstering their organizational depth by signing veteran outfielder Austin Slater to a minor league deal. Slater, who most recently spent time with the Miami Marlins, brings experienced depth to the Mets' system as they look to solidify their outfield options. The move allows the Mets to evaluate the veteran's potential impact without an immediate commitment to the 40-man roster, providing a low-risk addition to the club's developmental ranks during the 2026 season.
