Jackie Bradley Jr. On The Mets Radar
4 years agoThe New York Mets have free-agent outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. on their radar after losing out on George Springer. At least five teams -- the Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros, Colorado Rockies and Mets -- are monitoring Bradley. New York would prefer a right-handed hitter for center field, but Bradley would give them very a very strong outfield. Since the start of 2017, JBJ has recorded +49 Outs Above Average, which is eighth among all players. The Mets are also looking at utility man Kike Hernandez and lefty reliever Brad Hand. The 30-year-old Bradley is one of the best outfielders in baseball, but his bat can run extremely hot and cold from the left side of the plate. But he did hit .283/.364/.450 with seven home runs, 22 RBI and five steals in 191 at-bats in a small sample size in 2020.
