Gets NRI from Mets
Gamel signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Monday that includes an invitation to spring training.
ANALYSIS
Gamel got into six games with the Padres in 2023 but spent most of the year in the minors. The 31-year-old is a career .252/.332/.384 hitter over parts of eight big-league seasons and could have a shot to break camp in a reserve outfielder role with the Mets.

Stat Review
How does Ben Gamel compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could draw trade interest
Gamel could be on the radar of teams needing a fourth outfielder, opines Roy Biertempfel of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Gamel is an excellent defensive corner outfielder and can play center field or first base in a pinch. Offensively, he's produced a slightly above average .247/.332/.386 line, good for a 105 wRC+. With just the prorated portion of a $1.8 million salary for this season owed to him, he would be a relatively cheap addition for an acquiring team looking for outfield depth without costing a huge prospect haul.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2019
2018
2017
Gamel appeared in 122 games with Cleveland and Pittsburgh during the 2021 campaign and slashed .247/.347/.388 with eight homers, 43 runs, 26 RBI and three stolen bases. He served mainly in the strong side of a platoon last year and looks set for significant playing time again in the Pittsburgh outfield. While he may sit against some lefties, he could hit in the top half of the lineup against righties. Gamel lacks upside, but he could be a solid compiler in NL-only leagues or draft-and-hold formats.
