Heyman: K-Rod offered two years from Mets

I think we all better prepare ourselves for the "Freddy Coupon" name to come back into style, at least on this proposed deal.

According to MetsBlog:

In an appearance tonight on SNY, SI.com’s Jon Heyman said the Mets offered Francisco Rodriguez a two-year deal, with a third-year option, at roughly $12 million per season.

I know the closer market is slim, and the Mets want to get the best deal, but this is just silly. Rodriguez originally wanted five-years and $75 million, so what do the Mets do? Offer two-years, of course.

This might just be a play to get a cheaper deal in the long run, and Heyman doesn't expect K-Rod to take it (shocker!).

At least give the man three years. Is that so bad?
