Mets, K-Rod close to deal

The Mets and free agent closer Francisco Rodriguez are reportedly "close" to agreeing on a deal, supposedly for three years and worth $37 mil.

Per Jon Heyman:

"It's going to get done,'' said a person familiar with the talks.

Per Joel Sherman:

[Paul] Kinzer indicated that a deal could get done before these Winter Meetings end Thursday. He said, "we will know more in the next 24 hours, but so far everything has been positive."

Per Anthony DiComo:

"I am more optimistic than I have ever been," Rodriguez's agent, Paul Kinzer, told the New York Post late Monday night.

Again, the deal for K-Rod is supposedly worth three-years and worth around $37 million, which is not far off from my little mock up yesterday.

I don't want to count the eggs before they're in the Mets basket, but if this does go through, and it's could happen as early as today, Rodriguez better be thinking of a new number. 57 is taken.
