The New York Mets reportedly have a deal in place with Jose Bautista.
Fan Rag Sports’ Jon Heyman says the two sides have agreed to a deal that would bring Bautista back to the Big Apple.
Bautista was released by the Atlanta Braves on Sunday after getting off to a rough start with them. He batted just .143 with two home runs in 12 games while playing poorly at third base. Although he had an open invitation to join the team’s Triple-A team, Bautista will try to make it work with another MLB team.
Bautista would give the Mets a needed right-handed bat. He also can play third and the outfield, which is helpful with both Todd Frazier and Yoenis Cespedes hurt.
