HBT: Mets reach one-year deal with Marcum

Jon Heyman reports that the Mets have signed Sean Marcum. It?s a one-year deal, pending a physical.

Marcum, who is 31, posted a 3.70 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 109/41 K/BB ratio in 124 innings last year. He missed a large chunk of time with a right elbow injury, but that obviously didn?t scare off anyone.

Several teams, including the Rangers, Padres, Pirates, Royals, Twins and Indians had shown interest in the former Brewers? starter. The Mets getting him bolsters a rotation that was already looking pretty good, with Matt Harvey, Johan Santana, Jon Neise and Dillon Gee. ?If the Mets are to do anything in 2013, it seems, it will be on the back of solid pitching.

UPDATE: ?I always feel bad when there?s a Mets signing (D.J.?s team), Cardinals signing (Drew?s team), or the Twins signing (Aaron?s team) and I?m the one around to handle the post on it. They?re so much more excited about it than I am and, let?s be honest, are better at contextualizing it. So I give you D.J.?s initial thoughts on the Marcum signing, plucked from Twitter:

It?s so nice for D.J. that the Mets signed someone. It?s almost like they?re in the real big leagues and everything.
