According to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick, Jeff Francis agreed to a one-year deal with the Kansas City Royals pending a physical.
Crasnick is reporting that the deal is worth $2 million, plus another $2 million in incentives based on the number of starts and innings pitched.
That means if the Mets are still looking to sign a high quality starting pitcher for a bargain, Chris Young, may be their best option. Although it has been said they are interested in Dave Bush. Bush could be the Mets' plan B if Young doesn't sign.
GM Sandy Alderson stated that he wants to sign a starter for around the same price as the deal made for Chris Capuano.
That deal was worth $1.5 million, plus another $3 million in incentives.
