The Mets have reached agreement with infielder Ronny Cedeno on a one-year deal, worth just north of $1 million. The Mets had no backup shortstop on the roster so Cedeno certainly fills a need. He’s very good insurance in case Ruben Tejada regresses or if Daniel Murphy gets injured again. Cedeno is not much with the bat in his hands, as he has a lifetime OPS+ of 68 in 2,309...

Photo by Michael BaronAccording to Joel Sherman the Mets have re-signed Scott Hairston, it's not specified by Sherman at this time but there are reports that it's a minor league deal. Just like last year Hairston is a solid pick-up, he can play all three outfield positions and hit off the bench for power. His first season with the Mets wasn't great but compared to what...

In mid-June we looked at Scott Hairston and asked people not to be in such a hurry to run him out of town. Since then he’s continued to hit, survived the additions of Reyes and Wright back from the disabled list and has even gotten a few more starts along the way. Now no one is wishing him gone. Instead people are wondering if Hairston should get even more playing time. Since...

The Mets are saying that after examining Hairston’s shin injury, his status is day-to-day.  Original 9:15PM: Scott Hairston left the game after the 2nd inning of the make-up game against the Marlins due to a shin injury. Hairston hurt himself after hitting a foul ball off his shin in the first inning.  He returned for the 2nd inning, but was then pulled from the game shortly...

Scott Hairston was a man who came roaring into Port St. Lucie this past February with his intentions clear on being the 4th outfielder and a solid contributor to a questionable Mets club. After struggling mightily to begin the year both aspects of his game, Sandy Alderson reassured the media that Hairston's position on the club was secure--that he was a consummate professional who...

As Ted Berg from Tequarters mentioned today in an article about Bobby Parnell’s apparent finger injury: The other thing: A bunch of Mets fans seem really eager to show Scott Hairston the door, and I certainly hear that. He has looked awful at the plate and underwhelming in the field. The last time I said a guy needed more time he got cut (specifically: today), but I have to figure...

A month-and-a-half after being non-tendered by the Padres, the Mets signed Scott Hairston to a one-year, $1.1 million deal, with an extra $400,000 in performance bonuses.

This move has been met...
