Mets Reach Agreement With Jon Rauch

By Luke Adams 2 | December 6, 2011 at 7:56pm CDT

The Mets have agreed to a one-year deal with Jon Rauch, pending a physical, reports Joel Sherman of the New York Post (via Twitter). Jim Duquette of MLB Network Radio first reported (on Twitter) that a deal has been reached, and also tweets that he hears that it's worth $3.5MM plus performance bonuses.

Earlier today, we had heard that the Mets' search for bullpen help was intensifying, with multiple reports suggesting they could be getting close to an agreement. GM Sandy Alderson also indicated that the club was more likely to sign two moderately-priced relievers rather than one more expensive player. According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network (on Twitter), the Mets continue to work on adding another free agent reliever and completing a multi-player trade.

The Blue Jays, who offered arbitration to the Type B free agent, will receive a compensation draft pick in exchange for losing Rauch.

Andy McCullough of the Star-Ledger (via Twitter) and Adam Rubin of ESPN New York (via Twitter) also contributed to breaking the story, while Bryan Grosnick examines the fantasy implications at CloserNews.com.

    Rauch sucks. He’ll be a good fit in the Mets pen.

    The JP Strikes Back!!! Good riddance to Rauch. The Jays now have 4 top 50 picks, their’s, their comp pick for not signing Beede (Vanderbilt Education worth $2.5 million), a pick for Molina (welcome Mathis, try not to completely suck) and now Rauch (FYI Mets fans, closer by committee doesn’t work). And we should get three more picks tomorrow from Johnson and Francisco. Makes losing Nestor Molina today feel less like a loss.

      I think LaCava telling the Orioles to stuff it was the first good news.

    This is great for the Mets because the way I see it, they were lacking a power forward…
