The Mets are still in the market for a fourth outfielder and are interested in Andrew McCutchen, sources told The Post’s Jon Heyman.
It’s unclear if McCutchen is interested in a role as a spare outfielder, since the Mets have Starling Marte and Mark Canha and brought back Brandon Nimmo this offseason.
Darin Ruf is also on the bench as a potential right-handed DH, but he was dreadful after coming from the Giants in a trade last season and McCutchen could be used there on occasion.McCutchen, 36, is coming off an inconsistent season with the Brewers and has lost some power. He finished with an OPS of .700, a career-low, but was still a league-average hitter and remains solid as a corner outfielder.Other available outfielders still on the free agent market include Adam Duvall, David Peralta and Jurickson Profar.
