The Mets may be closing in on a deal with the Braves for two utility pieces, according to a report from Jim Bowden of ESPN.com (Twitter link). Both Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson appear to be ticketed for Queens if the deal goes through.
New York will send “young arms” to Atlanta to add the two veterans, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post (via Twitter).

No word on what the Braves will receive in return, but if it’s Plawecki credit the Braves GM with yet another steal.
