Palka signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Sunday. The 31-year-old outfielder is expected to report to Triple-A Syracuse as he begins his second stint in the Mets organization after spending the 2022 campaign in New York's farm system. Before he was cut loose by the Red Sox in July, Palka slashed .233/.309/.410 with 12 home runs in 314 plate appearances for Boston's Triple-A affiliate in Worcester.

Palka was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Red Sox on Friday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports. Palka signed a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training in February, but was a longshot to make the Opening Day roster. The outfielder will likely report to Triple-A Worcester, and he will need to be placed on the 40-man roster in order to receive a promotion to Boston.

Palka signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports. Palka is attempting to claw his way back to the highest level after last appearing in the majors in 2019. His age-30 season was spent with Triple-A Syracuse in the Mets organization, where he slashed .263/.344/.506 with 26 home runs and 79 RBI in 445 plate appearances. He posted a similar slash line for the Nationals' Triple-A club in 2021.

Palka signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Wednesday. Palka spent the entire 2021 campaign at Triple-A Rochester and slashed .256/.364/.472 with 18 homers, 61 runs, 58 RBI and five stolen bases in 106 games. It wouldn't be surprising to see him serve as a non-roster invitee this spring.
