Mets Close To Deal With Valentin

At MLB Trade Rumors they write about the Mets and Jose Valentin being close on a deal for 2008:

El Nuevo Dia is reporting that infielder Jose Valentin is close to re-signing with the Mets. He talked to several teams, but decided to take a nonguaranteed backup role with New York.
A few months ago, MLB.com's Marty Noble suggested the Mets would only re-sign Valentin if he was able to play the outfield. Valentin dealt with a partially torn ACL and fractured tibia in '07, and hopes to be 100% in February.
