The New York Mets are weighing Cuban free agent Yulieski Gourriel as an option for third base, according to Jon Heyman.
Gourriel, 32, was officially cleared to become an unrestricted free agent by MLB.
He hit .335 with a .417 on-base percentage, .580 slugging percentage and 250 home runs in 5,491 plate appearances during 15 professional seasons between Cuba and Japan, according to Baseball-Reference.
Gourriel will likely command between $10 million and $11 million per season, however because of his age, it is possible he isn't worth more than a two-year deal, one scout recently told New York Daily News reporter John Harper.
