Mets' Nick Madrigal: Signs on with NYM

The Mets signed Madrigal to a one-year, $1.35 million contract Friday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

He can earn an additional $500,000 in incentives. Madrigal has failed to pan out despite being the fourth overall pick in the 2018 Draft, particularly during his time with the Cubs when he managed just a .251/.304/.312 slash line in 616 PAs over the last three seasons. Injuries have been a problem, with a fractured hand costing him significant time in 2024. Madrigal can play second and third base and will attempt to win a reserve role in New York.
