The Mets appear to be closing in on a deal with the Braves for two utility pieces, according to a report from Jim Bowden of ESPN.com (Twitter link). Both Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson appear to be ticketed for Queens if the deal goes through.
New York will send “young arms” to Atlanta to add the two veterans, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post (links to Twitter). One of the players involved in the deal is John Gant, a 22-year-old righty who is pitching at the Double-A level. The other is Rob Whalen, 21, who is a right-hander working at High-A.
