"The Mets finally corralled the final piece to their rotation with the pitcher who's been on their radar all winter.

A baseball official said the Mets agreed in principle to a one-year deal with right-hander Chris Young, although the team will not officially announce the deal until Young passes his physical.

The Mets get a former All-Star who has been working his way back from shoulder surgery. He'll be added to a rotation that includes holdovers Mike Pelfrey, R.A. Dickey and Jon Niese, as well as recently signed Chris Capuano, also trying to reestablish himself after surgery."
