NY Post: Mets signing outfielder Tommy Pham to $6M contract after fantasy football slap controversy. "Pham is coming off a subpar year split between the Reds and Red Sox and finished with a .686 OPS, his worst in a full season. He was better with the Padres in 2021. He made headlines last season when he walked up to Joc Pederson of the San Francisco Giants before a game and slapped the outfielder for what Pham called a feud over a fantasy football league the two were a part of."
Here are Tommy Pham's recent and career stats:

Andy Martino SNY.TV: Signing Pham does not mean an immediate end to Darin Ruf’s tenure with the team. The Mets do not have a trade lined up that would send Ruf elsewhere, and have until the end of spring training to decide whether to keep him...One decision they have already made: Power-hitting catching prospect Francisco Alvarez is not in the full-time DH mix. The way the organization sees it, Alvarez needs to continue to develop as a catcher, which he will probably do in Triple-A at the beginning of the year.
Danny Abriano SNY.TV: After adding Tommy Pham, Mets must still find 'needed' offense somewhere — sooner or later. "Mets are still in serious need of a finishing piece for their offense."
Per the Mets Press Release: "Howard Johnson, LHP Al Leiter and broadcasters Gary Cohen and Howie Rose will be inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame on Saturday, June 3 in a pre-game ceremony prior to the 4:10 p.m. game vs. the Blue Jays at Citi Field...Jay Horwitz will also be honored with the Mets Hall of Fame Achievement Award for his contributions to the organization."
SNY.TV: Mets signing C Tomas Nido to two-year, $3.7 million contract: report. "Contract will cover Nido's remaining arbitration years...Per FanSided’s Robert Murray, the deal is worth $3.7 million and will pay Nido $1.6 million this season and $2.1 million in 2024."

2010 - Free agent catcher Bengie Molina re-signs for one year with the Giants in what is considered a surprise move, first because top catching prospect Buster Posey seems poised to play regularly for San Francisco, and also because the Mets had been expected to bring in Molina to be their starting catcher this season.
