Good morning Friday. We actually have something to talk about this morning.
- The Mets have signed free agent outfielder Jay Bruce to a three-year, $39 million deal. The Mets had traded Bruce to the Indians just this past August.
- David Schoenfield is puzzled by the Mets decision to bring back Bruce, although he does hope this will thaw the “cold stove.”
- Travis Sawchik writes that the Mets are counting on Bruce to keep hitting fly balls over the next three years.
- Chris Cwik thinks the Mets need to do a lot more than just bring back Bruce to be a contender in the National League East.
