Reports: Mets Planning to Sign Former Dodgers 1B Adrian Gonzalez
Adrian Gonzalez has agreed to a deal with the New York Mets pending a physical, according to ESPN and other multiple reports. Rather, he would be available to replace or at least tutor Dominic Smith, whose first partial season with the Mets did not convince the club he is ready to be the everyday first baseman.
While Gonzalez is guaranteed the $22.36 million remaining on his contract paid by the Braves, any team signing him as a free agent would only be required to pay him the major-league minimum of $545,000, similar to the deal the Mets made with Jose Reyes in 2016 after he was released by the Rockies. When he returned from his injury, NL Rookie of the Year Cody Bellinger had taken over at first base.
The result was the deal that sent Gonzalez, right-hander Brandon McCarthy, infielder Charlie Culberson, left-hander Scott Kazmir and cash to the Braves in exchange for outfielder Matt Kemp.

Gonzalez spent the past six seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers but was limited to only 71 games in 2017 because of a herniated disk in his back that put him on the disabled list for a long stretch.
For his career, Gonzalez is hitting.288 with 311 home runs.
