Mets bringing on veteran first baseman Adrian Gonzalez
Adrian Gonzalez has agreed to a deal with the New York Mets pending a physical, according to ESPN and multiple reports.
Gonzalez spent the past six seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers but was limited to 71 games in 2017 because of a herniated disk in his back that put him on the disabled list for a long stretch. When he returned, National League Rookie of the Year Cody Bellinger had taken over for the NL champion Dodgers.
Gonzalez, 35, is owed $21.5 million in the final year of his contract. The Mets would owe him just $545,000, with Atlanta paying the rest.
