How do you follow up signing Jay Bruce at a bargain? If you’re the New York Mets, you sign Adrian Gonzalez, according to USA Today‘s Bob Nightengale:
The #Mets now have decided to sign 1B Adrian Gonzalez pending a physical.

Don’t gloss over that “pending a physical” part. A bad back limited Gonzalez, 35, to just 71 games for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2017, and he was unsurprisingly left off the team’s postseason roster.
