The New York Mets made a roster move on Wednesday.
According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the team has signed veteran outfielder Tommy Pham to a one-year deal that's worth $6 million.
Pham is coming off a season where he played in 134 games for the Cincinnati Reds and Boston Red Soz. He hit 17 home runs and drove in 63 runs off a .236 batting average.
The Mets now have over $450 million committed to their roster, which is the most in baseball.
Pham should be a valuable bench bat for the Mets and someone who can also DH. For his career, he's hit 114 home runs and has driven in 363 runs off a .259 batting average.
The Mets are ready to rock heading into the 2023 season as they try and win their first World Series since 1986.
