TransactionMets agreed to terms with C Luis Torrens on a one-year, $2.275 million contract.
Torrens drew much better reviews for his defense than his offense while playing more than expected for the Mets last season, but Statcast believes he was terribly unlucky to come in at just .226/.284/.345, crediting him an xBA of .280 and an xSLG of .450. Still, the Mets will want Torrens to serve as more of a true backup to Francisco Alvarez if all goes well this year. It’s Torrens’ final season before free agency.
