The Mets and Indians agreed on a trade earlier this offseason that would've brought 2B Jason Kipnis to New York, but the deal fell apart at the last minute, SNY contributor Andy Martino said last Friday on Baseball Night in New York.
Meanwhile, the Mets are reportedly bringing former-Indian (and Met) Jay Bruce back on a three-year deal worth $39 million, while the Indians currently plan to hold on to Kipnis, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland Plain Dealer reported last week.
However, with the Mets still seeking a second baseman, they could re-visit a trade for Kipnis, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reported on Thursday.
