NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Jed Lowrie could not have scripted a better time to have the best season of his career.
Lowrie entered free agency this offseason as one of the top infielders available after hitting .267 with 23 home runs and 99 RBIs for the Oakland Athletics in 2018. He also led AL second basemen with a .993 fielding percentage. For his efforts, he was named an All-Star for the first time in his 11-year career.
The Mets then signed the 34-year-old to a two-year, $20 million contract.
On Wednesday, Lowrie was introduced at Citi Field.
