The Mets are signing Thompson — the younger brother of Warriors star Klay — to a minor league pact, The Post confirmed Wednesday.

SNY first reported the deal.

Thompson has bounced around for parts of seven major league seasons, mostly as a fourth outfielder.

He had a breakout season in 2022, when he slashed .256/.353/.507 with 13 home runs in 80 games with the Dodgers and Padres.

The righty swinger followed it up with a rough 2023, when he posted a .579 OPS in 72 games with the Dodgers and White Sox.

The 32-year-old has played each outfield spot and is out of minor league options.

He will try to compete for a job on a roster that includes Brandon Nimmo, Starling Marte, DJ Stewart and Cooper Hummel, with the Mets expected to sign another outfielder.
