Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said he hopes to bring back Mike Baxter. He couched that by saying Baxter's return depends on New York's alternate options. The Mets non-tendered Baxter on Monday. The 27-year-old went 8-for-34 (.235) with one home run and four RBI in 22 games with the Mets in 2011. The Queens native would have to settle for a minor league deal to return.
