We're in the Addams Family now.

Technically, only in the one-d version of the last name. First base depth. Tim Healey @timbhealey The Mets signed first baseman Matt Adams to a minor league deal with an invitation to major league spring training. Last year, Adams slashed .226/.276/.465 in 111 games with the Nationals.

Matt Adams and his 11 career PH HRs get a Met ST invite.

Whither Dominic Smith?

Matt, welcome "Big City" to the Big Time but you gotta change your Twitter profile picture ASAP: https://twitter.com/BigCityForReal 20 HRs last year in 333 ABs for WSH. Could be a lefty bat off the bench, especially if Dom is moved. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/matt-adams/9393/stats?position=1B

Dom has options and can play in Syracuse, but he really needs to be traded now. I like Adams coming off the bench.

Had a .276 OBP last year and struck out in over a third of his plate appearances. i have no interest in having him at all on the major league roster. Looking forward to him hitting 40 home runs in Syracuse this summer.

If a team had an opening for a lefty first baseman who can fake it in the outfield, they could have had Adams on a minor league deal. That tells me nobody is going to trade for Smith, or at least give up value in return. Might as well keep him.

Oh, Dom Smith has trade value. The minor league free agent market has a pile of Adamses. Dom Smith may play the same position and bat from the same side, but their respective rights are still very different commodities.

Seems like a Carlos Gomez-style insurance move. Not a bad guy to have at Triple-A if Alonso gets a little banged up.

With Smith lacking options, Adams won't displace him. But a 26-man roster could conceivably fit an extra lefty power bat, especially if Smith gets regular ABs against righties.

Not if Cespedes and/or Lowrie are in the mix, it won't. (8 starters, Jake-Thor-Stroman-Matz-Porcello in the rotation, Diaz-Betances-Lugo-Gsellman-Familia-Wilson-Brach-Wacha in the pen, and a bench that will have a catcher and Marisnick, and things get tight.)
