NEW YORK — Speedy center fielder Jose Siri has been acquired by the New York Mets from the Tampa Bay Rays for reliever Eric Orze. The 29-year-old Siri batted .187 with 18 homers, 47 RBIs and a .620 OPS in a career-high 130 games for the Rays this year. He covers a lot of ground in the outfield and gives the Mets a replacement for Harrison Bader, who became a free agent after sharing time in center field last season. Orze, a two-time cancer survivor, was a fifth-round pick in the 2020 amateur draft. He made his first two big league appearances this year.
