The New York Mets are still in the market for a center fielder and they have long been connected to free agent Jackie Bradley Jr. since George Springer signed with the Toronto Blue Jays. While no movement has been made on that front in recent weeks there are now reports circulating that the 30-year old center fielder is “seeking a significant contract, perhaps beyond four years”, according to sources close to reporter Mike Puma.
