Wilson Ramos will play in a familiar setting in 2019; the National League East. He won’t, however, return to the Philadelphia Phillies.
The 31-year-old backstop has instead agreed to to a two-year deal with the division rival New York Mets. Daniel Alvarez Montes of El Extrabase was the first to report the signing. Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports first noted the length of the deal, with Ken Davidoff of The New York Post saying the deal will guarantee Ramos $19 million, with incentives that could make the deal worth as much as $26 million.
