Second baseman Neil Walker isn't ruling out the possibility of staying with the New York Mets beyond his current contract.
The 31-year-old told MLB.com's Anthony DiComo that "there's potential for a long-term deal" to remain in Queens. Walker accepted a one-year, $17.2 million qualifying offer from the Mets in November.
Walker, who spent the first seven years of his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates, was traded to the Mets in exchange for left-hander Jonathon Niese (who was eventually dealt back to New York at the trade deadline) in December 2015.
