Report: Mets Agree to Deal With CF Albert Almora Jr.

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

The Mets agreed to a contract with outfielder Albert Almora Jr. on Sunday, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and Andy McCollough.

The terms of Sunday's deal have yet to be announced.

Almora, 26, spent his first five years with the Cubs. He is a career .271 hitter, tallying 28 home runs and 134 RBI. Once considered to be a key member in the young Cubs core, Almora was an important piece down the stretch in 2016, when they won their first World Series in 108 years. But, his production dipped over his last few seasons and he struggled to find playing time with Chicago in 2020.
