Mets May Sign Vargas As Soon As Today

Mark Hale at the New York Post writes about the Mets interest in Claudio Vargas and that a deal could be done soon:

The New York Mets are on the verge of signing free-agent right-hander Claudio Vargas to a minor-league contract, and a deal could be done as early as today, The Post has learned.

Vargas' agent, Bean Stringfellow, told The Post today that the Mets have offered Vargas a Triple-A deal and were one of four teams in the hunt. Stringfellow confirmed that the Mets are the favorite.

Well they definitely need the arms. It could be a good signing if he learns how to control himself on the mound.
