http://www.metsblog.com/2009/01/12/starting-pitcher-mets-offer-3-yr-deal-to-perez/ Interesting that at one point he wasn't even on their list, and soon after they are making him an offer. I guess they aren't as confident as they originally were about Lowe not getting a better offer. It would be hard to see none of the three teams mentioned offering more than that, but I'm sure it's just a starting number.
