A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that the New York Mets are close to completing a two-year contract with Japanese reliever Ryota Igarashi. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the deal had not been finalized. Igarashi, a 30-year-old right-hander, throws 93-94 mph with a splitter, the person said.
