Cubs Rumors: Mets have “looked at” Albert Almora as an outfield option

The Mets have checked in on former Cubs outfielder Albert Almora this winter.

Albert Almora‘s time on the North Side came to a rather unceremonious end, with the Cubs non-tendering him along with Kyle Schwarber last month. It’s hardly the path the team envisioned for the former sixth overall pick, but after another dismal showing, the time had come.

To this point, mum’s been the word as far as potential Almora suitors go. At this point, he’s a fourth outfielder rather than a starter – at least for a contending team.
