Mets re-sign UTL Cora to year deal: Alex Cora is staying with the Mets, agreeing to a $2 million, one-year contract. Details of the infielder's deal were revealed Monday by two people familiar with the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because the Mets had not yet formally announced it. Cora can earn an additional $1 million in performance bonuses: $250,000 each for 80, 90, 100 and 110 starts. There is a $2 million option for 2011 that becomes guaranteed if he has about 80 starts next season.

Injury Report
Thumb - Expected to be ready for spring training
(Updated - 11/30/09)
Fantasy Analysis
The 34-year-old played 82 games last season, batting .251 with 18 RBI and eight steals. He made 54 starts at shortstop, becoming the regular after Jose B. Reyes got hurt. Cora didn't play after Aug. 12 because of torn ligaments in both thumbs that required surgery. He should be ready for spring training, but he will be nothing more than a reserve for the Mets and the deepest of NL-only leagues at this point in his career. He means more to the Mets than any Fantasy owner.
