Cristian Pache - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs NRI pact with Mets The Mets signed Pache to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training Monday, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.

Impact Pache spent all of the 2025 season at Triple-A Reno in the Diamondbacks organization, where he slashed .251/.351/.389 with five home runs and eight stolen bases over 70 games. The 27-year-old has a lackluster career batting line of .181/.243/.275 over parts of five big-league seasons but is a gifted defensive center fielder.

Gets NRI from Snakes Pache signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday and received an invitation to spring training, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pache spent time with the Orioles, Marlins and Phillies last season, finishing with a .552 OPS and 16 RBI across 183 total plate appearances. Barring a drastic turnaround at the plate in spring training, the 26-year-old outfielder will likely report to Triple-A Reno to begin the new season.

Outrighted to Triple-A The Marlins outrighted Pache to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

Impact Pache passed through waivers unclaimed after being removed from the 40-man roster and will remain in the organization for the time being. The 25-year-old is a career .181/.243/.275 hitter over parts of five major-league seasons.

Exits 40-man roster The Marlins designated Pache for assignment Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pache was claimed off waivers in early August but produced just a .518 OPS in 35 games and had been playing sparingly of late. The transaction frees up a spot for Dane Myers' (ankle) return to the active roster.

On bench for third straight Pache is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Impact With Derek Hill (shoulder) requiring a trip to the injured list, Pache seemed to have settled into a regular role in center field, making four straight starts from Tuesday through Friday. However, Pache now finds himself on the bench for the third straight contest, with all three absences coming against right-handed starters. Pache looks like he may have to settle for the short side of a platoon in center field with either Kyle Stowers or Javier Sanoja.

Swipes bag in first Miami start Pache went 1-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

Impact Getting his first start for Miami in center field and batting seventh against southpaw Max Fried, Pache picked up his first steal of the season. The 25-year-old appears to be on the short side of a platoon with Nick Gordon in center for the Marlins, but Pache's elite defense could allow him to claim more playing time if he can make any kind of contribution with his bat. While Pache's .209/.296/.273 slash line in 125 plate appearances between the Phillies, Orioles and Marlins is poor, Gordon hasn't been much better with a .227/.258/.369 line.

AUGUST 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Miami The Marlins claimed Pache off waivers from the Orioles on Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pache is known for his superb center-field defense but has put up just a .570 OPS through 119 plate appearances this season between the Phillies and Orioles. He could get some run in center field in Miami for a rebuilding Marlins club.

Dropped from 40-man The Orioles designated Pache for assignment Thursday.

Impact Just six days after being traded from Philadelphia to Baltimore, Pache will now lose his roster spot with the Orioles in order to help make room for new additions Eloy Jimenez and Austin Slater. The 25-year-old Pache appeared in three games for the Orioles and tallied a hit during his lone at-bat with the team, though he still holds a middling .570 OPS through 119 plate appearances on the season.

Sent to Baltimore The Orioles acquired Pache and reliever Seranthony Dominguez from the Phillies in exchange for outfielder Austin Hays on Friday.

Impact Pache has filled a short-side platoon role in center field for Philadelphia at times this season, and a similar role likely awaits in Baltimore, if he's immediately added to the big-league roster. Pache is a plus defender with plus-three DRS in 50 games this season but hasn't offered much offensively in 2024 with a .202/.288/.269 slash line and 36.4 percent strikeout rate.

Sent to Baltimore The Orioles acquired Pache and reliever Seranthony Dominguez from the Phillies in exchange for outfielder Austin Hays on Friday.

Impact Pache has filled a short-side platoon role in center field for Philadelphia at times this season, and a similar role could await in Baltimore. Pache's strength is his defense with plus-three DRS in 50 games this season, but he hasn't offered much offensively in 2024 with a .202/.288/.269 slash line and 36.4 percent strikeout rate.

Captures short-side platoon role Pache will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Even though both he and Johan Rojas are right-handed hitters, Pache appears to have taken hold of the short side of a platoon in center field. Pache will be included in the lineup for the Phillies' third straight matchup with a lefty (Marco Gonzales) while Rojas sits.
