The Mets designated catcher/outfielder for a signment, as first by Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. The Mets announced the move a couple minutes later. Hummels spot on the 40-man roster will go to righty , whom the Mets are . Hummel, 29, was claimed off waivers from the Hunter Stratton Jersey Mariners earlier in the offseason. He appeared in 10 MLB games last year and came to the plate 26 times with Seattle. He also received a brief look with the D-backs in 2022, and hes posted an overall .166/.264/.286 line in 227 career plate appearances. Ugly as that small-sample slash line may be, Hummel turned in a .262/.409/.435 batting line in Triple-A last year and drew walks at a ma sive 18% clip. The Mets were surely attracted to that output and to his versatility; hes logged more than 1800 innings in left field, 1054 frames behind the plate, 508 innings at first base and another 296 innings in right field. Add in that he has a minor league option remaining, and hes an interesting depth piece even if he hasnt yet been able to produce at the big league level. Hummel is also a known commodity for Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns, who was the Brewers general manager in 2016 when Hummel was drafted by Milwaukee. Stearns traded Hummel to the D-backs in the 2021 swap, and hell now have a week to trade Hummel again or else attempt to pa s him through outright waivers. Duane Underwood Jr. Jersey
