Meet the Mets
The Mets have reportedly signed infielder Jed Lowrie to a two-year deal worth $20 million. This move gives the team more depth and flexibility in their infield.
Lowrie was not the only signing for the day. They also signed reliever Luis Avilan to a minor league deal.
Jacob deGrom is still open to signing an extension but it might have to wait until after arbitration gets settled.
The Mets have already made quite a few moves this offseason, so what do they still need to do before the season begins?
Congratulations to Tim Tebow who got engaged to his girlfriend Demi Leigh Nel-Peters.
Around the National League East
The Braves are reportedly interested in signing free agent A.J. Pollock.
There are six teams that are still in the running to trade for catcher J.T. Realmuto.

The Nationals reportedly signed Brian Dozier to a one-year deal worth $9 million.
Around Major League Baseball
The Mariners signed reliever Cory Gearrin to a one-year deal.
The Blue Jays signed David Phelps also to a one-year contract.
The arbitration process could get crazy this year with many stars due for significant raises.
The Brewers were willing to stretch their budget a bit in order to sign catcher Yasmani Grandal to a one-year deal.
Grandal took a one-year deal but he is really worth so much more than that.
Will Middlebrooks will reportedly retire from playing baseball.
