NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. -- New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson arrived at the winter meetings with much of his heavy lifting for the offseason already done. Left fielder Yoenis Cespedes has re-signed for $110 million over four years and second baseman Neil Walker already accepted a qualifying offer worth $17.2 million for 2017.
The remaining items on the agenda:
Trade outfielder Jay Bruce or Curtis Granderson, with the preference being Bruce.
Acquire a couple of relievers, either on one-year deals via free agency or in that trade for the outfielder.
