The Mets have agreed to a Major League deal with right-hander Daisuke
Matsuzaka, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The 32-year-old Matsuzaka,
who asked for his release from the Indians on Tuesday, will go directly to
the big leagues with New York, Heyman adds.

Matsuzaka, who is represented by Scott Boras, posted a 3.92 ERA with 8.3 K/9
and 3.4 BB/9 in 103 1/3 innings for the Triple-A Columbus Clippers this
season. Prior to his release, he'd been particularly effective, pitching to a
2.17 ERA with a 39-to-8 K/BB ratio in 49 2/3 innings in seven starts. The
Mets have recently lost Jeremy Hefner and Jenrry Mejia to injuries, so taking
a flier on Matsuzaka makes sense for GM Sandy Alderson.
