Mets Roster Central: Getting the Band Back Together

There's nothing wrong with second thoughts.  Just because you let a guy walk doesn't mean you can't reassess him.  Maybe your needs change, maybe your assessment of the guy changes, maybe the guy just has gotten better.  You don't want to dig in on your old evaluations.

Anyhow, this is what Mets Roster Central told their wife.

COMING

Signed away from CHC to Minor-League Contract, Assigned to Binghamton

Outfielders

Jaylen Palmer

R/R DoB: 2000-07-31 High Level: AAA (2025)

After re-signing infielder Nick Roselli, previously of Levittown, SUNY Binghamton, and the Mets organization right up until they released him on April 1 of this year, the Mets Office of Second Thoughts wasn't done.

Outfielder Jaylen Palmer had an even greater claim to a Mets territorial claim, having sprung from the streets of Flushing and the halls of Holy Cross High School.  Jaylen played in the system from 2018 to 2024 before achieving minor-league free agency and jumping to the Cubs.

But a Flushing guy is a guy you keep tabs on, and when Jaylen and his solid on-base/speed combo (and low average and power) became available again at a time of Mets need, well, a reunion was inevitable.  The Palmer family — based in Canarsie — were regular supporters of Jaylen when he played for the Mets in Coney Island, so hopefully a few summer trips to Binghamton will be coming up.
