The New York Mets have made roster moves by outrighting reliever Austin Adams to Triple-A Syracuse after he cleared waivers and giving him a non-roster invitation to spring training. The Mets have also signed outfielder Ben Gamel to a minor league contract, with potential earnings of $1.2 million if he reaches the majors, and $35,000 per month at AAA. On the other hand, the Chicago White Sox have seen mixed opinions on Yasmani Grandal, with a deal reported to be worth $2.5 million plus incentives.
Ben Gamel’s minor league contract with the NYM will pay him $1.2M if he reaches the majors. $35,000 a month at AAA.

The Mets have signed outfielder Ben Gamel to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
It’s an unpopular opinion but I liked Yasmani Grandal. He was good when the Sox were good. Last 2 years were rough but it is what it is. Hope he succeeds in Pittsburgh. https://t.co/J6JGHxTi8B
Zero issue paying Yasmani Grandal $2.5 million. Offers some certainty. Money's friendly. Worst-case, he's halfway decent, Henry develops, and you turn over more playing time at the deadline. Now, get another pitcher.
Per source: Grandal deal is $2.5 million plus incentives.
Reliever Austin Adams, whom the Mets DFA'd last week, cleared waivers. The Mets outrighted him to Triple-A Syracuse and sent him a non-roster invitation to spring training. He'll be in camp.
