Siri went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.
He launched his third homer of the spring in the third inning, lofting a Liam Hendriks pitch just inside the foul pole down the left-field line. Siri's long balls are his only hits through 14 plate appearances so far, but he's also stolen a base and posted a 3:3 BB:K. The 29-year-old will be competing for playing time in center field with Tyrone Taylor once the regular season begins.
Siri agreed to a one-year, $2.4 million contract with the Mets on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Acquired from Tampa Bay early in the offseason, Siri's glove is likely to earn him regular playing time in the Mets' outfield in 2025. That being said, it will be hard for fantasy managers to trust him after he hit just .187 with a 37.9 percent strikeout rate over 402 at-bats last season.

Mets' Jose Siri: Heading to National League
Rotowire
Siri was traded from the Rays to the Mets on Tuesday in exchange for Eric Orze, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Siri is eligible for arbitration and the Rays may have been on the fence about paying him coming off of a year where he hit .187 with a 37.9 percent strikeout rate. He turned 29 in July and was worth 2.6 fWAR as recently as 2023, so the Mets will bring him in to potentially take over center field duties with Harrison Bader a free agent.
Siri is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox.
Siri hit a home run and drove in four runs in Tuesday's win over Boston, but he nonetheless finds himself on the bench a day later. Jonny DeLuca will patrol center field for Tampa Bay on Wednesday.
Siri went 2-for-4 with a homer, a double, and four RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 victory over the Red Sox.
The Tampa Bay outfielder put the team in front by a 3-2 margin with his 339-foot solo shot down the left-field line in the fifth inning. Siri later drove home the Rays' last three runs of the game with a bases-clearing double in the eighth. The 29-year-old has fallen out of everyday playing time, starting just 10 of Tampa Bay's 16 games in September, thanks in part to a team-worst 159 Ks in 431 total plate appearances. He is now slashing .192/.262/.379 with 18 homers, 16 doubles, 48 runs scored and 47 RBI this season.
Siri is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Siri went 3-for-7 with a double, a triple and three strikeouts while starting the previous two games of the series, and he'll head to the bench for the finale. Jonny DeLuca will shift to center field while Dylan Carlson receives a start in left.

Rays' Jose Siri: Snaps out of slump
Rotowire
Siri went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple and a run scored Friday against the Guardians.
Siri has struggled considerably across the last three weeks, going just 5-for-46 with a 42 percent percent strikeout rate. He's still started 13 of 21 games in center field in that span but has ceded some playing time to the combination of Jonny DeLuca and Dylan Carlson.
