The Mets have landed a strong bat one week before Opening Day. 

J.D. Martinez and the Mets have agreed to a one-year, $12 million contract, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported. 

Martinez, <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/21/sports/mets-angels-j-d-martinez-offers-arent-quite-there-yet/">according to Heyman</a>, recently declined a $15 million offer from the Giants because their stadium was not a strong fit.
