The “OMG” show is going from coast to coast.

Jose Iglesias, the veteran infielder who resurrected his career with the Mets last season and was a spark plug during their run to the NLCS, is signing a minor league deal with the Padres, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed Wednesday.

The deal includes an invite to San Diego’s MLB camp and will pay him $3 million this year if he’s in the majors. It also includes $1 million in incentives.

The 35-year-old, who spent time with the Padres’ Triple-A affiliate in 2023 but did not appear in an MLB game that season, joined the Mets on a minor league deal last season and became an important player for them after getting called up two months into the 2024 campaign.

In 85 games, Iglesias hit .337 with an .830 OPS, four homers, 16 doubles, 26 RBIs and 39 runs in 291 plate appearances. He recorded a 3.1 WAR (per Baseball Reference) during that span.

Along the way, “OMG,” a song Iglesias released last season, became an anthem for the team, as it would celebrate big moments with an OMG sign in the dugout. Iglesias goes by “Candelita” as an artist and even performed the hit song after one game at Citi Field.

At the start of spring training last month, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns indicated a reunion with Iglesias was unlikely because the team wanted to evaluate its younger players and maintain roster flexibility, seeming to prefer a player with options whom they can send to the minor leagues if needed.

Iglesias seemed upset during a conversation with Heyman last month that he had not heard from the Mets.

“It hurts because we started something that definitely isn’t finished yet,” Iglesias told Heyman. “It took a lot for us to get where we got. That’s what hurts. I definitely get that it’s a business. But it definitely hurts.”
