Mets, reliever Wilson agree to 2-year deal

NEW YORK — A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that left-hander Justin Wilson and the New York Mets have agreed to a $10 million, two-year contract.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Friday because the agreement was subject to a successful physical.

Wilson will get $5 million annually and also can earn performance bonuses.

A 31-year-old reliever, Wilson was 4-5 with a 3.46 ERA last season for the Chicago Cubs. He struck out 69 and walked 33 in 542⁄3 innings. Primarily a fastball pitcher who averages 95 mph, he also throws occasional sliders.

New York has rebuilt its bullpen under new general manager Brodie Van Wagenen, acquiring All-Star closer Edwin Diaz from Seattle and signing former closer Jeurys Familia, traded by New York to Oakland last summer. The Mets also agreed to minor league deals with left-handers Hector Santiago and Luis Avilan.

Mike Mussina will not have a team logo on the cap of his Hall of Fame plaque. The Hall announced the decision Friday, three days after Mussina was elected.

Mussina spent his first 10 major league seasons with Baltimore and his last eight with the Yankees.

The Hall said the decision was made after consultation with Mussina and his family.

Mussina had said he needed time to make up his mind.

Brandy Halladay, the wife of late pitcher Roy Halladay, said Wednesday the cap on her husband’s plaque would not have a logo. Halladay spent his first 12 big league seasons with Toronto and the last four with Philadelphia.
