MAJOR LEAGUES: The New York Mets have agreed to a $19.5 million, two-year deal with free agent catcher Wilson Ramos, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told the Associated Press.
The deal likely signals an end to the Mets’ pursuit of Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto.
Ramos batted .306 with 15 home runs and an .845 OPS last season. He made the All-Star team but missed the game with a hamstring injury. The 31-year-old also tore his right ACL late in the 2016 season while with the Washington Nationals.

SKIING
WORLD CUP: Lindsey Vonn is hoping to return from injury next month and resume her pursuit of the all-time World Cup wins record, according to the U.S. Ski Team’s head coach.
“That’s what we’re hopeful for. That’s the plan,” Paul Kristofic told the Associated Press on Sunday.
Vonn hyperextended and sprained a ligament in her knee during a training crash on Nov. 19. January would be an opportune time for Vonn to return, since there are three consecutive weekends of speed races, downhill and super-G – which are Vonn’s specialties.

The team says Gisin fractured several ribs on his right side, his right lung was also injured, his pelvis was dented slightly, plus he has a “few, non-serious fractures on the spine.”
• Marcel Hirscher dominated to extend his record by winning the Alta Badia giant slalom in Italy for a sixth straight year Sunday and reclaimed the overall World Cup lead.
