Mets To Sign Park

Adam Rubin writes about the eventual signing of Chan Ho Park to the Mets in the next 48 hours:

When pitchers and catchers report to Port St. Lucie in six days, the Mets will have another starter in the mix. Chan Ho Park is expected to sign with the Mets in the next 48 hours, a source told the Daily News late last night.

Park, a 33-year-old righthander, went 7-7 with a 4.81 ERA in 24 appearances (21 starts) for the Padres last season. He made $15 million in '06, in the final year of a five-year, $65 million contract agent Scott Boras negotiated with the Rangers in December 2001. Park has a 113-87 record in 13 years with the Dodgers, Rangers and Padres.
