Mets sign a former MLB home run leader to a MILB contract

With Pete Alonso on the injured list and the Mets desperately needing more power in their lineup, the Mets have made a move to add some depth to the first base position.

The Mets sign first baseman Luke Voit

According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Luke Voit is heading to the Mets on a minor league contract and will report to Triple-A Syracuse and be active tomorrow.

Voit’s major league journey started in 2013 when the St. Louis Cardinals took him in the 22nd round of the MLB draft. He spent four years in the minor leagues before being called up on June 25, 2017.
