Ken Rosenthal says the Mets are supposedly close to getting a deal done with Oliver Perez.
Although Rosenthal says that Randy Wolf is the Mets' primary backup plan to Perez (and that Perez going to New York would mean Wolf signing with the Dodgers), there's also the thought out there that Ben Sheets probably won't sign until Perez signs, since the Mets were the other team that showed a fair amount of interested in Sheets.
