Per Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, the New York Mets have agreed to terms with free agent pitcher Jason Vargas.
The deal is pending a physical and is for two years, $16 million, with a club option for 2020. After spending four straight seasons with the Royals, Vargas should slide into the five-spot as the only southpaw in the Mets' rotation.
In 2017, Vargas went 18-11 with a 4.16 ERA and 4.67 FIP in 32 starts and 179 2/3 innings.
