Mets close to 2006 first round pick

Matthew Cerrone at Metsblog writes about the almost signing of the Mets 2006 first round draft pick RHP Kevin Mulvey:


…the buzz around new york is that the mets are close to signing their 2006 first-round draft pick RHP Kevin Mulvey…

…from what i can gather, mulvey is looking for at least a million dollar signing bonus, despite being selected with the 62nd pick in the draft…it doesn’t appear that negotiations have stalled for any other reason than the mets have been busy with the trade deadline, waivers and signing David Wright and Jose Reyes to extensions…there is motivation to complete a deal soon, since the minor league season ends in a week…
