PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) β All-Star second baseman Daniel Murphy said the New York Mets have not approached him about a long-term contract.
The 29-year-old agreed last month to an $8 million, one-year contract. He is eligible for free agency after the World Series.
Murphy made his first All-Star appearance last year, when he led the Mets in batting average (.289), hits (172), doubles (37) and runs (79).
He says “no extension talks right now” and adds “If that comes up, we’ll kind of cross that bridge when we get there. But as of right now, I’m a Met for this year, for sure. I would love to be here in the future, but that is way in the distant future. I have too much anxiety today to worry about what happens in November.”
