The Mets have signed veteran outfielder Rafael Ortega to a minor league deal, providing insurance in center field amid free agency departures.
Ortega, who spent the 2023 season with the Mets, logged 30 Triple-A games and 47 big league contests, hitting .219/.341/.272 during his time.
Having a career batting average of .245, Ortega brings extensive experience at all three outfield positions, primarily as a center fielder.
With key outfielders signing with other teams, the Mets are looking to build depth and have placed their focus on bolstering the outfield options.
