Brandon Lyon to get 750-900K base
Brandon Lyon - R - Toronto Blue Jays
Feb. 7, 2013 - 11:20 PM ET

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that Brandon Lyon will receive between $750,000-900,000 in base pay in his deal with the Mets.

It's an incentive-laden deal, as Lyon will have a chance to bump the total up to $2.4 million. Rosenthal says the two sides are "negotiating the final details" before the deal becomes official. Lyon registered a solid 3.10 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 63/20 K/BB ratio across 61 innings last season between the Astros and Blue Jays. He'll work as a setup man in New York.
