"Pham, 38, signed a minor league deal with the Mets in March. He was added to the roster in mid-April. He got into nine games and was sent to the plate 14 times. He struck out seven times, walked once and did not get a hit."
"Though Pham is in his late-30s, he was still providing offense close to league average with the Pirates last year. He hit ten home runs and drew walks at an 11.1% clip, leading to a .245/.330/.370 line and 94 wRC+."
"Coming into 2026, Pham expressed some hope that a treatment to address plantar fasciitis could improve his game after struggling with the condition in recent years. That hasn't panned out yet but he also didn't really get a good chance to get into form."
Outfielder Pham has cleared waivers and opted for free agency after being outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse. He signed a minor league deal with the Mets in March but struggled, going hitless in nine games. The Mets signed Austin Slater, making Pham the roster casualty. Despite being in his late-30s, he had a decent offensive performance with the Pirates last year. Pham hopes treatment for plantar fasciitis will improve his game, but his recent performance has limited his market to likely minor league offers.
