NEW YORK — A person familiar with the deal tells The Associated Press that outfielder Jesse Winker and the New York Mets have agreed to a one-year contract, perhaps a signal the team doesn't expect to re-sign slugger Pete Alonso. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement was subject to a successful physical. Winker was acquired by the Mets from Washington on July 28 and hit .243 with three homers and 13 RBIs for New York last year. Alonso also became a free agent after the season and the first baseman has held talks with the Mets without reaching an agreement.
