 The New York Mets signed CF Harrison Bader to a one-year $10.5 million deal.

Bader is known as a strong defender and also hits well against left-handed pitching with a .936 OPS in 2023 and .824 for his career.

He has had difficulty staying healthy the last two years missing 140 games.

Last year with the Yankees he hit .240 with seven homers and 37 runs batted in.

 Bader will play a key role in the Mets outfield with his defense and help add depth to the outfield along with Brandon Nimmo, Starling Marte, DJ Stewart, Tyrone Taylor as well as Jeff McNeil.
