More Green

Andrew Marchand at The NY Post writes about the Shawn Green deal and how close it is to being done:

Green has decided to waive his no-trade clause to join the Mets if a deal can be finalized. With this huge obstacle definitively out of the way, the largest barrier separating Green from Shea now is figuring out how much of Green's contract the Diamondbacks would pay in a deal, according to sources.

Green is making $8 million this year and is due $9.5 million next season. In 2008, he has a $10 million team option. If that is not picked up, he is owed $2 million.
