Mets’ Harvey open to pact extension

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.

Matt Harvey appears open to considering a long-term contract with the New York Mets.

“I think whatever comes up is going to come up,” Harvey said Monday, two days before Mets pitchers and catchers are due to report for spring training. “I’ve never shied away from it. I’ve never said I wouldn’t consider it. But I haven’t heard anything considering that.”

After helping the Mets reach the World Series for the first time since 2000, the 26-year-old right-hander was eligible for salary arbitration for the first time and agreed to a one-year deal worth $4,325,000. He is eligible for free agency after the 2018 season, and his agent, Scott Boras, usually prefers his clients test the market.

Mets general manager Sandy Alderson says he would consider talking about long-term deals with his talented young starting pitchers if there was mutual interest.
