Mets agree to deal with Catcher Omar Narvaez (reports).
"That's always a huge motivator in free agency - where can I go and compete for a World Series title? The great part is, I didn't have to go anywhere."

"We wanted Chris [Bassitt] back. We wanted Jake back. But at that time, certain things are out there that didn't make sense for us, so you have to pivot and go somewhere else."

Mets.com:
- Nimmo thrilled to don orange and blue for long haul
- Mets reach 1-year deal with catcher Narváez (source)
- Nimmo eyes improvement in 1 key area in '23 - Writer Bill Ladson notes "During his seven-year career in the big leagues, Nimmo has stolen 23 bases in 37 attempts. The reason for so few attempts? The team wanted to keep him on the field. Nimmo has spent a lot of time on the injured list over the years."
