Overview
- The agreement was reported by Mike Puma, with Kessinger set to attend Mets camp as a non-roster invitee.
- A 2019 second-round pick out of Ole Miss, he appeared in 48 MLB games for Houston in 2023–24 and hit .131 with one home run.
- Houston designated him for assignment last offseason and traded him to Arizona, which optioned him to Triple-A Reno.
- He played 11 games for Reno before being designated for assignment while on the injured list and released, then went unsigned for the rest of 2025.
- The 28-year-old offers infield versatility and will compete for a bench role, and he is the grandson of six-time Cubs All-Star and two-time Gold Glove winner Don Kessinger.
