Mets said to reach deal with Cora | mets.com: News

According to WEEI's blog, the Mets have signed Alex Cora the utility infielder to a 1 year, 2 million dollar deal. Cora will back up Reyes, Wright, and Castillo, giving Reyes and Wright extra days off, and filling in for Castillo if he gets injured or struggles. Pretty good signing, since they needed a utility guy(with the expected loss of Damion Easley), and he fits the bill perfectly. Cora seems like a good clubhouse guy and will hopefully give the Mets a deeper bench.
