Former Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal is reportedly signing with the New York Mets.

Joel Sherman of MLB Network and the New York Post reported the news Friday afternoon:

The Cubs non-tendered Madrigal in late-November to clear room on their 40-man roster.

The 27-year-old infielder was often injured throughout his time with the Cubs after being acquired in a trade with the White Sox in 2021.

Madrigal appeared in 202 games for the Cubs from 2022-24, serving as the team’s starting second baseman and third baseman at various points during that tenure.

He hit .251/.304/.312 (.616 OPS) during the 616 plate appearances on the North Side while accruing 1.3 WAR.

The Cubs have added several infield options to their bench this season, including Rule 5 pick Gage Workman as well as veterans Jon Berti and Vidal Bruján.
