EDGE Analysis

Singleton was released by the Astros in late March after failing to make their Opening Day roster but didn't have to wait long to find another organization. He put up a .707 OPS with 13 home runs over 119 games with the Astros in the 2024 regular season. Singleton will give the Mets some veteran first base depth at Triple-A Syracuse.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old failed to make Houston's Opening Day roster and will now explore his options in free agency. If Singleton is unable to find a better landing spot, it's possible he returns to the Astros on a minor-league deal. He had a .707 OPS with 13 homers in 119 regular-season games in 2024.

EDGE Analysis

Singleton struggled at the plate this spring, slashing .171/.239/.195 with no homers and 10 strikeouts over 46 at-bats. He had been in the running to back up Christian Walker at first base. With Singleton not slated to make the club, the door could be open for Zach Dezenzo to land an Opening Day roster spot.

EDGE Analysis

Singleton lost roughly 25 pounds this offseason and manager Joe Espada had positive remarks about Singleton's play in the field, noting that he looked more athletic and fluid at first base. His ability to field the position will be a key to earning a bench role this spring, as he had negative eight defensive runs saved in 2024 as Houston's primary first baseman. With the addition of Christian Walker, Singleton would be limited to small-side platoon at-bats at most during the regular season.

Singleton is not in the lineup Wednesday for Game 2 of the American League Wild Card Series versus the Tigers, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Singleton is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis
