• Mets' Jed Lowrie: Agrees to deal with Mets

  12D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Lowrie agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with the Mets on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Lowrie has been rewarded after putting together a career year in 2018. The 34-year-old earned his first All-Star selection last season after slashing .267/.353/.448 line with 23 homers and 99 RBI in 157 games with the A's. It's unclear where the veteran infielder will initially slot in with his new team -- he can play second or third base -- but he figures to see a healthy dosage of plate appearances regardless of his position, and third base seems like the regular spot he'll play with Robinson Cano likely playing second.

He'll now hit the open market after earning his first career All-Star selection.
