Mets and Curtis Granderson in talks over 3 year deal

[Sportsguy9695]

Talks between the New York Mets and Curtis Granderson's representatives intensified late Tuesday, and a source familiar with the negotiations told ESPNNewYork.com the organization is working to land the free-agent outfielder on a three-year deal.

A second source said late Tuesday that the sides are talking but nothing was imminent.

The Mets may ultimately concede and guarantee a fourth year in order to land Granderson, a source said.

Granderson, who will turn 33 in March, said Tuesday on a conference call regarding the players' union that he met Sunday with Mets general manager Sandy Alderson. That has been described as more of an introductory meeting, though, so talks have escalated quickly.

"We ate a nice meal, and it was great to enjoy some salmon," Granderson said.
