The New York Mets held a press conference yesterday afternoon for Jeff McNeil after the agreement on a four-year, $50 million contract extension. McNeil expressed loads of excitement about the deal as well as for this upcoming season.
It certainly is quite an accomplishment for a player who was a 12th-round draft pick by the Mets in 2013 and began his age-26 season in 2018 for the organization in Double-A.
