The New York Mets have remained in contact with free agents Trey Mancini and Andrew McCutchen, per Jon Morosi of MLB Network.
Mancini, who will turn 31 years old in March, hit .239 (.710 OPS) with 18 home runs and 63 RBI for the Baltimore Orioles and Houston Astros last season.
The O's traded Mancini to Houston on Aug. 1. He hit eight home runs in 51 regular-season games for the eventual World Series champions but struggled at the dish overall, hitting just .176 before the playoffs. He then went 1-for-21 in the playoffs. Houston declined his $10 million mutual option after the season.
