Former Yankees center fielder Harrison Bader has agreed to a one-year, $10.5 million deal with the New York Mets, per SNY’s Andy Martino.
Bader split last season between the Yankees and Cincinnati Reds, batting .232 on the year with seven home runs and 20 stolen bases. Various injuries limited him to just 98 games, though his elite glove still managed +9 outs above average (OAA) and +4 defensive runs saved (DRS).
The Westchester native and Horace Mann grad now takes his talents to Flushing. His role with the Mets, in the meantime, remains to be seen.
