NEW YORK — The squirrel has found his nut.
Jeff McNeil has agreed to a four-year, $50 million extension with the Mets, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The contract reportedly includes a fifth-year team option that could bring the deal to $63.75 million.
The 30-year-old slashed .326/.382/.454 with nine homers and 62 RBIs en route to his first-career NL batting title. McNeil received NL MVP votes as well in 2022.
