    Once he passes his physical K-Rod will be a Met, reports say

    After weeks of rumors, the Mets have finally reached a deal with star closer, Francisco Rodriguez, ESPN is reporting. The deal is worth $37 million over three years.

    This is a huge win for the Mets for two reasons: They're bullpen was a disaster last year, plus they landed K-Rod for three years rather than the risky five he wanted.

    Last season, K-Rod broke the major league record for saves by recording 62. Just 26, Rodriguez has posted at least 40 saves in the last four seasons. He will be taking the place of BIlly Wagner, who's recovering from elbow surgery in the last year of his contract.

    This could be the happiest day for Mr. Met since he got to meet former French Culture Minister Jack Lang in 2007.
