Mets Acquire Outfielder Jose Siri from Rays in Trade

The New York Mets bolster their outfield by trading reliever Eric Orze to the Tampa Bay Rays for Jose Siri.

Jose Siri, known for his defensive prowess, joins the Mets as a potential replacement for free agent Harrison Bader in center field.
Siri hit .187 with 18 home runs and 47 RBIs in 2024, but his defensive skills remain a strong asset.
Eric Orze, who struggled in his brief MLB appearances, moves to the Rays after a solid Triple-A season with a 2.92 ERA.
Siri's arbitration eligibility could lead to a salary increase, influencing the Rays' decision to trade him.
The Mets continue to explore outfield options, with ongoing negotiations involving free agent Juan Soto.
