The New York Mets and top-tier closer Billy Wagner have reportedly agreed to a four-year contract. WFAN radio in New York said the deal is worth more than $40 million and MLB.com added that it could be announced officially as early as Tuesday after Wagner takes a physical. The left-handed fastball hurler, whose pitches often reach 100 miles-per-hour, has recorded 284 saves with an impressive 2.40 earned run average since joining the big leagues in 1995. Wagner spent the first nine years of his career in Houston before being traded to Philadelphia in 2004. Last season, the southpaw had a minute 1.51 ERA and 38 saves, helping Philadelphia come within one game of a wild card berth. Last week Wagner described the pursuit of him as "a one-horse race" and suggested that the Phillies were not as actively trying to put together a winning team as the Mets. "There are a lot of things you don't do, taking one step back to take one forward. You're just standing still," said Wagner. "The Mets seem to be moving forward." New York also introduced first baseman Carlos Delgado on Monday. He was acquired from Florida in a trade last week.
