Even after accepting a one-year qualifying offer to stay with the New York Mets, Neil Walker is still in discussion about a long-term deal.
According to Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News, the two sides are discussing a three-year deal that could be worth "north of $40 million."
"From my standpoint I did talk with his agents [Saturday]," Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said Sunday. "I expect to talk with Neil sometime today. I really don't want to comment beyond that."
Without a new contract, Walker will make $17.
