Reports: Mets Reach Agreement On 2-Year Deal With Lefty Vargas

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Mets may still have one of the best young pitching staffs in baseball, but that doesn’t man they can’t use some help.

According to WFAN baseball insider and FanRag Sports’ Jon Heyman, they got some on Friday when they agreed to a two-year, $16 million contract with veteran left-hander Jason Vargas.

The deal reportedly has a third-year club option and with incentives could be worth as much as $27 million, MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo reported.
