…in case you missed it

According to Ken Rosenthal at FOXSports.com, the Mets are close to signing free-agent RHP Claudio Vargas.

The New York Post wrote last night that a deal could be done as soon as today, with the two sides on the ‘verge’ of such a deal, according to Newsday.

Last season, Vargas went 11-6 with a 5.09 ERA in 29 games for the Brewers, who released him during spring training.

…now that el duque is in a boot, and sidelined for at least two more weeks, though likely more, and with Pedro Martinez out with a hamstring injury, signing vargas to a minor-league is an absolute no brainer
