Brandon Lyon, Mets finalize one-year deal
Brandon Lyon - R - New York Mets
Feb. 8, 2013 - 1:25 PM ET
Mets signed RHP Brandon Lyon to a one-year contract.
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported Thursday that Lyon will earn between $750,000-900,000, with incentives that could bump the total to $2.4 million. It's a solid, low-risk move by the Mets, who could use some stability towards the back-end of their bullpen with the lack of confidence in Frank Francisco. 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.
