New York and their All-Star free agent slugger have been in a negotiation war for several weeks on end. Both parties have failed to come to terms on an agreed-upon contract duration. However, Jon Heyman of the New York Post revealed that the Florida native’s desire to return to the Mets could receive a tailwind from the shrunken market that’s out there for him at the present (h/t Pat Ragazzo of New York Mets on SI):
