The New York Mets signed veteran first baseman Matt Adams to a minor league contract, the team announced Friday. According to the announcement, Adams will be invited to the major league portion of spring training with the Mets next month. The Mets are familiar with Adams after he played most of the last two seasons with their National League East rivals, the Washington Nationals. Adams hit .226 last season with the World Series-winning Nationals, smacking 20 home runs with 56 RBIs in 111 games (71 starts). Adams signed with the Nationals in 2018 before being waived that August, with the Cardinals picking him up for the pennant race.
