NEW YORK — Jesse Winker and the Mets have agreed to a one-year contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday, perhaps a signal the team doesn’t expect to re-sign slugger Pete Alonso. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement was subject to a successful physical.

A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that outfielder Jesse Winker and the Mets have agreed to a one-year contract, perhaps decreasing the chance first baseman Pete Alonso will remain with New York.

New York reportedly offered Alonso a three-year contract worth $68-70 million. The offer was seen as a “last ditch effort,” by the Mets. Furthermore, when Alonso declined, the team began to sour on the hopes of his return, via Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
