Center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr., who was linked to the New York Mets for much of the winter and a part of the spring, has decided to sign with the Milwaukee Brewers for the 2021 season. According to Julian McWilliams of the Boston Globe, Milwaukee and the talented defensive outfielder are in agreement on a two-year, $24 million contract.
The Mets pursued marquee center fielder George Springer for much of the season, as he was clearly their top priority. However, once he received a six-year offer from the Toronto Blue Jays, the Mets weren’t willing to go that far and he ended up signing with them.
