The Mets have signed first baseman/outfielder Jason Botts.
Botts, who will be assigned to Triple-A Buffalo, was playing for the York Revolution of the Atlantic League.
The 30-year-old hooked on with the Nationals organization last summer, hitting .279/.345/.438 with eight homers for their Triple-A affiliate. In parts of five seasons at the Triple-A level, Botts owns a .909 OPS. In addition to the independent circuit, Botts also saw time overseas when he spent parts of two seasons with the Nippon Ham Fighters.
Nothing really to see here…moving on.
