The Mets are bringing back yet another player from last year’s team.
Infielder Jose Reyes, who wants to finish his career with his longtime team, reached an agreement on a one-year deal to return for a 12th season with the Mets, according to multiple people familiar with the deal. They were not authorized to speak publicly about the pact because it was pending a physical examination.
The deal is for $2 million but Reyes can earn another $500,000 in incentives, according to one person familiar with the deal.
The Mets have a need for another infielder, specifically a second baseman, but do not view Reyes, 34, as a possibility there just yet.
