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.

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...

Really??! Don’t expect Fernando Martinez to make it back to the Mets either. He may have arthritis and may never live up to the hype but waive him for Scott Freakin Hairston? One thing I hated was that the way the Mets would never bring players up to fill backup roles. Like Nick Evans who after his first go-round, looked pretty good. Now he’s going to be a Met killer for the...

I got this one, Hojo… This from Joel Sherman of the NY Post: Hairston, 31, hit .235 with seven homers and 24 for the cost of $1.1 million last season.

Of course he won’t...

Mets didnt feel the return was warranted especially since depth right now is weak with injuries at Buffalo. So what did Hairston do?  Just cracked 2 solo shots. The 2nd being with 2 outs in the 9th

The Mets try to make it 3 out of 4 today as they play the Padres, in about an hour, to close out the homestand before they head to Arizona and then over to San Diego to play the Padres again.   Scott Hairston gets the start in CF and leads off with Angel Pagan dopped up on muscle relaxers for his back.   Nick, wow I'm not commuting to Buffalo today, Evans also gets a start...

Anthony DiComo of Mets.com tackled a question on the recently waived Fernando Martinez in his mailbag feature today. Why waste a roster spot for Scott Hairston and let go of Fernando Martinez? Give F-Mart all those at-bats and actually see what he has to offer the team. He still is very young. – Lou G., Kenosha, Wis. Effectively cutting Martinez was an extremely difficult decision...

Don’t look now, but Scott Hairston leads the Mets with a .561 slugging percentage and a .901 OPS. His seven homeruns are just one behind team leader David Wright who has eight.
