The New York Mets and pitcher Fransisco Rodriguez have agreed on a three-year contract worth $37 million per season. Rodriguez will need a physical examination to complete the deal. It includes an option for a fourth year worth $14 million dollars.
The Mets have begun to shore up their notoriously shaky bullpen and Omar Minaya and Mets executives can now move on to acquiring more bullpen help and a starting pitcher or two.
A press conference is expected to occur by tomorrow to officially announce the signing.
The market played the Mets way this time and they were able to sign Rodriguez to a reasonable deal. A closer is not the only answer to the bullpen woes, however, and hopefully the Mets can acquire someone like Huston Street, Juan Cruz, Brandon Lyon, or Joe Beimel to anchor the back end of the pen with K-Rod
