NEW YORK
Sanchez was 5-1 with a 4.32 ERA in 66 relief appearances in
2008. He was part of a Mets bullpen that blew 29 of 72 save chances
and he faded down the stretch, compiling an 8.64 ERA from Aug. 15
while allowing eight runs and 13 hits in 8 1-3 innings and letting
opposing hitters bat .342.
Sanchez's deal was likely to be announced by the team Tuesday.
Five Mets remained in arbitration and were set to exchange
proposed figures with the team on Tuesday: right-hander John Maine,
outfielder Ryan Church, reliever Pedro Feliciano and outfielders
Jeremy Reed and Angel Pagan.
