LAS VEGAS (AP) -Francisco Rodriguez and the New York Mets completed their $37 million, three-year contract Wednesday.
Rodriguez saved 62 games for the Los Angeles Angels this year, five more than the previous big league mark set by Bobby Thigpen of the Chicago White Sox in 1990, and then filed for free agency.
“One of our primary goals this offseason was to secure a top of the line closer to anchor our bullpen and by acquiring Frankie Rodriguez we feel confident that we have one of the best closers in the majors,” Mets general manager Omar Minaya said in a statement.
