Paris was claimed off waivers by the Mets on Thursday.
Paris was cut loose by the Angels, and he has now found a new home with New York. The 24-year-old spent the majority of the 2026 campaign with Triple-A Salt Lake, batting .307 with 13 home runs, 50 RBI, 42 runs scored and 16 stolen bases over 231 at-bats over 62 contests with the team. Paris went 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts and three walks over 18 plate appearances over eight regular-season contests with the Angels in 2026, and he'll look to earn a more prolonged major-league opportunity with the Mets in 2027.

Mets' Bo Bichette: Exercises player option
Rotowire
Bichette exercised his $42 million player option for the 2027 season Thursday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Bichette's first year with the Mets didn't quite play out the way many had expected before the season began, as he posted just a .702 OPS across 696 plate appearances while adding 18 homers, 78 RBI and 76 runs for a team that finished last in the NL East. It was unlikely that he'd attract a more lucrative deal in free agency coming off one of the worst seasons of his career, so he'll opt in for another season as an everyday starter in Queens.
Young (concussion) is expected to have a relatively normal offseason and be ready for the start of spring training, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Young suffered a concussion and had to be stretchered off the field as a result of a Sept. 17 collision with teammate Nolan McLean. He's still experiencing concussion symptoms and hasn't regained all of his hearing yet, but Young has been progressing steadily and doesn't expect any long-term effects. The 31-year-old Young should be in the mix for playing time between first base and designated hitter with the Mets in 2027.
Mets' Reed Garrett: Expected to be ready for spring
Rotowire
Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said Monday that he expects Garrett (elbow) to be a full participant in spring training, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
Garrett underwent UCL reconstruction surgery last October. It's unclear how far along the veteran reliever is in his throwing program, but the expectation is that he'll be ready to roll for spring training. Assuming health, Garrett will likely be a high-leverage reliever for the Mets in 2027. He's logged a 4.10 ERA with 163 strikeouts over 129.2 innings during his time with New York.

Mets' Tylor Megill: Will be full-go for spring training
Rotowire
Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said Monday that he expects Megill (elbow) to be 100 percent for the start of spring training, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
Megill is just over one year removed from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. It's unclear whether he's currently at in the rehab process, but it sounds like Megill won't be facing any real restrictions once spring training rolls around. The 31-year-old Megill could compete for a spot in the Mets' rotation next season.
