Sources told The Athletic that the Mets are signing Austin Slater.

Nevermind, Nick Morabito; it’s going to be Slater replacing the soon-to-be DFA’d Tommy Pham as a spare right-handed outfielder in Queens. Slater, 33, was just cut by the Marlins after opening the season 4-for-23. He’ll start in left or right against lefties.
