Arizona Diamondbacks to sign infielder Wilmer Flores, according to report

The Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to a one-year deal with free agent infielder Wilmer Flores, ESPN's Jeff Passan reports.

The team has an option for 2020, according to the report.

The deal is pending a physical.

Flores hit .267 with the New York Mets last season. He had 11 home runs and 51 RBIs in 126 games.

He endeared himself to Mets fans when he got emotional during a game against San Diego on July 29, 2015, believing media reports he had been traded to Milwaukee. The proposed swap for Carlos Gomez fell through, and two days later Flores hit a game-ending 12th-inning homer to beat Washington.
