NEW YORK -- Free agent Pedro Astacio and the Mets reached agreement on a one-year deal Wednesday night, giving New York a much-needed righty for its rotation.
Astacio gets a $5 million salary for 2002, and can make another $5 million in performance bonuses. His contract can become guaranteed for 2003 if he pitches a certain amount of innings.
