The one thing all of these relievers have in common is that they all bring the cheese. Rodney averages 95 mph on his fastball, Capps 94 mph, and its been said Igarashi sits 93-96 mph with a hard splitter in the high 80's and has hit 90 mph (not sure if that is accurate though). As it stands now the Mets probably have no shit with Capps as he is coveted by pretty much the whole MLB and he will probably be able to find a role closing. The Mets seem like the most likely suitor to get Rodney as of now, but the Mets official site is reporting that the Mets are on the verge of signing Igarashi to a two year deal. The deal is supposed to be worth about $2.5 million dollars. Igarashi should be able to take over the spot of J.J. Putz and serve as the Mets set-up man.]]> The Mets are currently being linked to a couple relivers including Fernando Rodney, Matt Capps, and Japanese import RyotaIgarashiRyota Igarashi.  The one thing all of these relievers have in common is that they all bring the cheese.  Rodney averages 95 mph on his fastball, Capps 94 mph, and its been said Igarashi sits 93-96 mph with a hard splitter in the high 80′s and has hit 90 mph (not sure if that is accurate though).
