SAN DIEGO (AP) – The New York Mets have agreed to a $1.45 million, one-year contract with outfielder John Mayberry Jr.
The team did not announce the deal, which is guaranteed and subject to a physical. Manager Terry Collins said Thursday at the winter meetings he liked ”everything” about Mayberry and was pleased to add a right-handed bat with power to New York’s bench.
Mayberry, who turns 31 next month, had seven homers and 23 RBIs in 146 at-bats for Philadelphia and Toronto this year. Mayberry has 53 homers in six big leagues seasons.
”He kills left-handed pitching. He can play first and play the outfield,” Collins said.
