Mets Sign Dickey

Dickey, Mets agree on two-year deal

The Mets avoided arbitration with knuckleballer R.A. Dickey by agreeing to terms on a two-year deal with a club option for a third year, according to a baseball source.

The agreement is pending a physical, which is expected to take place Monday in New York, according to Martino. The Mets have not confirmed the deal.

Dickey, 36, was a pleasant surprise with the Mets last season, going 11-9 with a 2.84 ERA in 26 starts and one relief appearance after being called up from Triple-A Buffalo to start on May 19. He also struck out 104 and walked 42 in 174 1/3 innings. He posted career bests in wins, starts, ERA, innings, strikeouts, complete games (two) and opponents' batting average (.251).
