No, that's news to me! Up until now I knew that New York had expressed an interest, but that was it. What I've read in Nikkan Sports is that the Mets' initial offer was the same that they gave Shinjyo, the league minimum (perhaps with incentives), which the veteran Komiyama didn't sound like he approved of.
Well, I should be getting my morning newspaper in the door in a few more hours, then it'll be a couple more before a wake up. I'll reserve further comment until then.
Oh, and there was an odd thing about waiting for something in the paper. This thread a couple of days ago mentioned the Giants' new uniforms. But Nikkan Sports showed new Seibu Lions' uniforms the next day - no new Giants' jerseys. Did I miss something?

A newspaper here in NY is reporting the Mets have signed Komiyama as a reliever.
Which newspaper is that? I can't find any mention of that in either the NY Times or the Post. Is the article online?

Rumor Confirmed

Today's (11/29) Nikkan Sports is reporting just what you did, that the Mets are signing him and that it will be announced later this week. However, they do give a few more details.
The reported price appears to be $200,000 with a possible $900,000 worth of incentives for two years. This is similar to what New York offered him when he moved to the BayStars. But at 36 years old, he feels more comfortable with this offer now.
Shinjyo has offered to help Komiyama out in his adjustment.
