Overview

  • The agreement was reported Saturday by Francys Romero and picked up by multiple outlets.
  • Meneses is likely to be assigned to Triple-A Las Vegas as organizational depth.
  • He spent 2025 with Triple-A Syracuse in the Mets system, batting .265/.322/.447 with 11 home runs.
  • A quick path to Oakland appears unlikely with Nick Kurtz at first base and Brent Rooker at designated hitter.
  • After a 2022 breakout with Washington, he posted a .261/.311/.370 line over 2023–24, though he owns a .282/.338/.480 mark across parts of five Triple-A seasons.
