Jewish outfielder Harrison Bader is headed back to New York, this time as a member of the New York Mets. The 29-year-old Bronxville native agreed to a one-year $10.5 million contract.

Bader spent the first five and a half seasons of his baseball career with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he won a Gold Glove in 2021. He was traded to the New York Yankees in 2022, but despite his stellar defense, he struggled at the plate and was cut late in the 2023 season. Bader played his final 14 games with the Cincinnati Reds before becoming a free agent this winter.
