Sources: Mets, Brandon Nimmo agree on 8 years, $162M

Brandon Nimmo and the New York Mets are in agreement on an eight-year, $162 million contract, sources familiar with the deal told ESPN's Jeff Passan.

The deal keeps the Mets' longtime outfielder in New York and adds to the biggest payroll in baseball. It's the second-richest contract in Mets history by total value, behind Francisco Lindor's 10-year, $341 million deal signed prior to the 2021 season.

Nimmo, 29, will be entering his eighth year in the majors next season, all with the Mets after the team selected him in the first round of 2011 amateur draft.
