Mets Willing To Give Joel Pineiro A Jason Marquis Type Deal

Many have mentioned Pineiro as the starter the Mets most covet. The 31-year-old right-hander had an uncharacteristic type of standout year for the Cardinals in 2009, going 15-12 with a 3.49 ERA. It was Pineiro's first ERA under 4.00 since '03, and now he's reportedly seeking a deal similar to the three-year, $29.75 million contract Randy Wolf signed with the Brewers. The Mets, however, are reportedly only willing to give him something close to what Jason Marquis got from the Nationals -- two years at $15 million.
