Source: Michael Wacha, Mets reach 1-year deal

The New York Mets and pitcher Michael Wacha on Wednesday agreed to a one-year deal, a source confirmed to ESPN's Buster Olney.

The New York Post was first to report the deal, which is still pending a physical.

Wacha, 28, had spent his entire seven-year career with the St. Louis Cardinals. The right-hander went 6-7 with a 4.76 ERA in 29 games -- 24 starts -- last season, failing to post a win after July 19.

Wacha, the MVP of the 2013 NLCS, will join a Mets rotation that already boasts two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, Marcus Stroman and Steven Matz.
