The Mets announced they\u2019ve claimed infielder\/outfielder Kyren Paris<\/a> off waivers from the Angels. New York also designated outfielder\u00a0Cristian Pache<\/a> for assignment.<\/p>\n

Paris, who turns 25 next month, is a former second-round pick who has played parts of four big league seasons. He\u2019s a good athlete with speed and raw power who\u2019ll need to dramatically cut down on the strikeouts to even carve out a career as a bench player. The righty-swinging Paris owns a .147\/.238\/.272 slash line with seven home runs and 11 stolen bases across 263 career plate appearances. He has gone down on strikes in 38% of his trips to the plate.<\/p>\n

New York is evidently intrigued enough by the tools and Paris\u2019 minor league production. While he barely factored into the Halos\u2019 big league plans this season, he\u2019s coming off a .274\/.384\/.458 showing with 13 homers and 24 steals between Double-A and Triple-A. Paris has played mostly middle infield in his minor league career but has the speed to factor into the outfield mix as well.<\/p>\n

This was Paris\u2019 final minor league option season. He\u2019ll either need to break camp or be placed back on waivers at some point before Opening Day. The latter outcome is more likely, and there\u2019s a decent chance the Mets will attempt to sneak him through waivers during the offseason.<\/p>\n

Pache is also out of options. The former top prospect is a pure depth player at this stage of his career. He joined the Mets on an offseason minor league deal and was called up after they moved Tyrone Taylor<\/a> at the trade deadline. Pache held a bench spot for the final two months of the season but only started one game. He went 1-8 with four strikeouts and is a career .181\/.242\/.273 hitter over 618 plate appearances. Pache is likely to clear waivers this weekend and opt for minor league free agency in search of a non-roster invite to Spring Training.<\/p>\n

The Mets will need to make three more cuts from their 40-man roster by Monday evening. They\u2019ll need to activate Tylor Megill<\/a>,\u00a0Jorge Polanco<\/a> and\u00a0Reed Garrett<\/a> from the 60-day injured list. The Halos also dropped<\/a>\u00a0Sebasti\u00e1n Rivero<\/a> and\u00a0Sammy Peralta<\/a> from their roster this afternoon. They\u2019re down to either 36 or 37 players on their roster, depending on whether they pick up a $2.5MM option on reliever\u00a0Robert Stephenson<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Mets announced they\u2019ve claimed infielder\/outfielder Kyren Paris off waivers from the Angels.
