Bautista starts wild day in Fla., ends it as Met

About four and a half hours before their game against the Marlins on Tuesday, the Mets agreed to terms on a one-year deal to bring Jose Bautista to Flushing, adding some right-handed thump — albeit 37-year-old thump — to a lineup in obvious need of it. The Mets just so happened to be facing a left-handed pitcher that night, creating an ideal situation for their newest player.
