The Mets will sign free agent OF-1B Jay Bruce to a three-year, $39 million deal, which will pay him just $10 million in 2018, according to multiple reports.
This is good news, not great news. The Mets are better today than yesterday. But, still a lot has to be done to get their offense where it has to be for Opening Day. But, one thing at a time...
By signing Bruce, I expect Sandy Alderson's next set of moves will be to either trade for a center fielder, trade for a second baseman, or sign a free-agent third baseman (or all of the above).
