Wagner and the Mets
Via Phillies Nation, Billy Wagner signs with the Mets. It's a four year contract with an option for a 5th, and more money per year than Ryan and Rivera. With Wagner, Delgado, Pedro, Beltran, Wright and Floyd, the Mets appear to be going for the gold in 2006.
It's a good year to be a free agent closer.
Correction: I had Ryan instead of Wagner at one point in this post.
I'm guessing he meant wagner, not ryan.

Lots of age and/or DL time in that group.
