Infielder Jonathan Villar will be joining his fifth team in four seasons, agreeing to a one-year deal with the New York Mets, sources confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.
The deal is for $3.55 million, according to multiple reports. His agreement with the Mets was first reported by MLB Network.
Villar, a switch-hitter, had a .232 batting average with 15 RBIs and 16 stolen bases in 52 games between the Marlins and Blue Jays during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. He has shown his versatility in the field, playing second base, shortstop, third base and outfield during his career.
