NEW YORK (AP)—Oliver Perez and the New York Mets reached a preliminary agreement Monday on a $36 million, three-year contract.
The deal is subject to the pitcher passing a physical, two people familiar with the talks said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the agreement wasn’t final. The physical is scheduled for Tuesday.
New York had offered Derek Lowe—another client of agent Scott Boras—a $36 million, three-year contract, but Lowe accepted a $60 million, five-year offer from Atlanta. In addition to Lowe, the Mets also held talks with agents for Tim Redding and Randy Wolf, and agreed with Redding on a $2.25 million, one-year deal.
