The Yankees won the New York battle for veteran rescuer Justin Wilson.
The leftists agreed on Monday with a deal with the Yankees, confirmed Joel Sherman from The Post, after receiving interest from the Mets.
The terms of the deal, which awaits a physicist, were not immediately clear.
Wilson, 33, has played for the Mets for the past two seasons and spent the 2015 season in the Bronx.
Wilson won an ERA of 2.91 in 58 ² / rep innings in his two seasons with the Mets. In what has been a fairly quiet off-season for the Yankees, Wilson joins Darren O’Day as additions to the Yankees bullpen. The Yankees traded Adam Ottavino and most of his $ 9 million contract with the Red Sox to open dollars with free agents.
The Mets bullpen suffered a potentially critical blow with the news that Seth Lugo was imprisoned for six weeks, while recovering from surgery to remove a bony spur from his right elbow. Mets added veterans Mike Montgomery and Tommy Hunter as non-roster guests at spring training.
