The contract also includes an option for 2013, although no further details were immediately available.

Another great move by the Mets FO, Omar is really proving his worth

The Reyes and Wright deals were excellent deals for the Mets org. At least Wright is getting a nice salary for his final 3 years of that deal, unlike Reyes, who was hoodwinked by his agent.

The Mets have put a hammer down regarding who they believe their future lies with. Smart Org. moves.

In jest, I am surprised they did not lock up Maine after he extended his scoreless streak to 23+ yesterday.
