Aiden Robbins Signs First MLB Deal with New York Mets

New York Mets Secure Texas Star

The Mets finalized a $1 million contract with former Longhorn outfielder Aiden Robbins, sealing the deal less than two weeks after selecting him in the third round. New York went $140,100 above the slot value to land the Pennsylvania native, signaling strong confidence in his future impact. The organization now sees Robbins as a key piece of its long‑term outfield plans.

College Success Propelled Robbins

After transferring from Seton Hall, Robbins joined Texas for the 2026 season and instantly made his mark. He posted a .355 batting average with 24 home runs, 68 runs scored, and 64 RBIs while stealing 42 bases in 156 games. His standout performance earned him the 2026 NCAA Austin Regional Most Outstanding Player award and a spot on the All‑Tournament team.

What Lies Ahead for the Prospect

Robbins will begin his professional career in the Mets’ farm system, where his powerful bat and speed are expected to translate. The over‑slot bonus reflects the Mets’ belief that the power surge he displayed in Austin will continue at higher levels. Fans and scouts will watch his minor‑league development closely as he looks to fulfill the high expectations set by his college tenure.
