Bruce Is Back!
After a winter of discontent, finally some good news for Mets fans. Jay Bruce has agreed to a three-year, $39 million deal to return to Flushing. Over parts of two previous seasons, Bruce pumped out 37 homers and 94 RBIs. More importantly, unlike some other imports -- yes, Jason Bay comes to mind -- he enjoyed playing in Citi Field and Mets fans clearly took a liking to the Texan. So with Michael Conforto a question mark after shoulder surgery and Dominic Smith far from a sure thing, the Mets finally have a second productive power bat to go along with Yoenis Cespedes. And it's a player new manager Mickey Callaway got to know, after the Mets sent Jay to Cleveland last August. Ah, if only every move could be this logical.
