K-Rod---->Mets

The Mets are on the brink of closing their most important game of the offseason — landing closer Francisco Rodriguez, according to a New York Post report.

SI.com first reported the terms — a three-year deal worth $37 million. FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal confirmed the terms Tuesday and also reported that the deal includes a vesting option for a fourth year that could raise the total value to approximately $50 million.

The chances of the Rangers trading shortstop Michael Young appear minimal. Teams are asking the Rangers about Young because of the thin market for shortstops, but the team is unlikely to seriously consider such a deal, according to major-league sources.
