Back in triple A for 1982, he batted .317 with twelve home runs and 101 RBIs for the Pacific Coast League's Albuquerque Dukes. Receiving a second September call up that year, he was 1-for-3 with a run scored.
He was 0-for his first-8 at bats as a Met before getting his first hit on May 10. He went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a 5-4 extra innings loss to the Astros.[4]
He hit his first major league home run as a pinch hitter on June 2 off Fernando Valenzuela to send that game to extra innings.[5] The Mets lost in fourteen innings, giving them a record of 16–30, and prompting managerGeorge Bamberger to resign after the game. "I've probably suffered enough."[6] He saw more limited playing time under new manager Frank Howard. In his only full season in the majors, Bradley batted .202 with three home runs and five RBIs.
On February 22, 1984, he was released by the Mets. He batted .242 with one home run and sixteen RBIs for the California League's San Jose Bees that season before retiring.
