The Mets signed Jay Bruce to a three-year, $39 million contract, and Ken Davidoff likes the deal:
Bruce has returned to the Mets for three years and $39 million, an eminently reasonable deal for a 31-year-old-to-be who brings power and durability to an environment sorely in need of both. In this freezing-cold Hot Stove League, Bruce agreed to a deal that he probably wouldn’t have envisioned accepting back in, say, Game 2 of the American League Division Series, when he was helping the Indians dominate the Yankees.
The Mets are paying for Bruce’s decline, and should expect to get about 4.5 to 5.0 WAR out of him. That’s not the type of deal that puts a team over the top. In addition, this helps the Mets lineup remain old. It does nothing to excite me about the Mets 2018 season, or the near future for that matter.
