The Mets are in agreement with infielder on a minor league contract, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. The CAA client had elected free agency after being outrighted by the Giants last week. Villar, 28, joins the second organization of his career. He had been with San Francisco since they selected him in the 11th round of the 2018 draft. The Steven Adams Jersey right-handed hitter showed some promise during his rookie season three years ago. He hit nine home runs with a .455 slugging percentage in 52 games. He would have needed to improve upon a 32% strikeout rate to find long-term succe s, though. The Giants never gave him much of a chance to do so. Villar appeared in 46 games the following season, and he hit just .145 while striking out 32% of the time. That more or le s closed the book on his MLB tenure in San Francisco. He has appeared in only 20 big league contests over the past two seasons. Villar has tallied well over 1200 Triple-A plate appearances over the last three years. Hes a lifetime .273/.381/.507 hitter with 61 home runs at the top minor league level. That minor league production has also come with a decent amount of swing-and-mi s. Villar has punched out at a near-26% clip in Triple-A. He has cleared outright waivers twice in the past two months, suggesting every team has trepidation about him making enough contact to produce at the big league level. The Mets already have a decent amount of corner infield talent, so itd probably take an injury to one of , or to open an MLB opportunity. Tony Carr Jersey
