Mets Promote Nick Morabito to MLB Debut Amid Outfield Shuffle

The Mets will promote Nick Morabito for his MLB debut, filling the roster spot created by Austin Slater’s DFA. Morabito, a 23-year-old outfield prospect (No. 75 in the 2022 draft), has slashed .253/.364/.390 with 4 home runs and strong baserunning in Triple-A Syracuse and is viewed as a speedy, versatile defender who can handle all three outfield spots. With Juan Soto leaning into DH time due to injuries and rookies Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing contributing, Morabito could carve out a depth role while remaining on the 40-man roster with three minor league option years remaining, keeping him under club control through 2032 depending on service time.
