John Maine Signed, Sealed and now it's time to Deliver!

Johnny Maine has got a reason to smile.

By John Maine signing and avoiding arbitration, that leaves Pedro Feliciano as the Mets final holdout.

Feliciano made $1,040,000 last season; he's asking for $1,95,000; the Mets offered $1,350,000.

According to Joel Sherman, the Mets have reached agreement with John Maine on a $2.6 million contract, avoiding arbitration, the Post has learned.

Maine also can earn $25,000 by pitching 200 innings.

Maine is coming off of surgery to remove spurs from his right shoulder. But the Mets remain hopeful that he will slot back into the rotation in 2009.
