Mets signing OF Jackie Bradley Jr.

The Mets are bolstering their outfield depth, signing Jackie Bradley Jr. to a minor league deal, per multiple reports.

Bradley will report to Triple-A Syracuse.

The 34-year-old had been playing for the Independent League Long Island Ducks, where he was in the middle of a 28-game hitting streak.

During the streak, Bradley was hitting .471 with a .537 OBP.

Bradley last played in the majors in 2023 for the Kansas City Royals, where he slashed just .133/.188/.210 in 43 games.

A defensive stalwart in center field during his prime with the Boston Red Sox, Bradley was an All-Star in 2016 and won a Gold Glove in 2018.

In 11 big league seasons with the Royals, Toronto Blue Jays, Red Sox, and Milwaukee Brewers, Bradley has hit .225/.303/.381.

He was a plus defender as recently as last season, when he was worth 4 DRS.
