While there is still no news on the Carlos Correa situation, the Mets did sign a player today, inking Tim Locastro to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training, according to multiple sources. Locastro, a veteran of three MLB teams, was most recently a member of the New York Yankees, with whom he appeared on both the Division Series and Championship Series postseason rosters.
Locastro, 30, is one of the fastest players in baseball, who has a 39 to five stolen bases to caught stealings ratio for his career and is in the 99th speed percentile of sprint speed.
