The New York Mets signed first baseman Matt Adams, formerly on the Washington Nationals, to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
The slugging infielder didn’t have the best of years in 2019. He batted just .226/.276/.465 but did belt 20 home runs over 333 plate appearances for the World Champions last season.
Adams, who is 31 years old, will serve as depth for the Mets at first base. He will also provide a strong pinch hitter and a power bat off the bench against right-handed pitchers.
