NEW YORK -- Jonathon Niese will not be evicting tenant Neil Walker from a Manhattan apartment.
Niese had signed a one-year lease for an East Side apartment before the New York Mets began their playoff run last season.
When Niese was traded for Walker in December, they worked it out through their agents for Walker to sublet the apartment.
Now, Niese has been reacquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates for fellow left-hander Antonio Bastardo. But rather than giving Walker the boot, Niese will find alternate accommodations for the remainder of this season.
