The Mets and Phillies were working on a deal for the 37-year-old outfielder on Monday after Philadelphia claimed him off revocable trade waivers, sources said. The teams have until 1 p.m. Tuesday to work out a deal.
A Bautista deal would be a relatively
low-stakes move for both teams. The Mets can avoid paying the final five
weeks of his league-minimum salary, and would hope to extract a
tangible return, be it a minor leaguer or international signing bonus
space.
