Holy eff

Jayson Stark just reported on ESPN that the Mets and Pirates are closing in on a huge deal for Roberto Hernandez and Oliver Perez. I know Perez has been awful, but he best not go to NY cheaply.

UPDATE (3:17 PM)- ESPN just said it's a done deal, Dave Littlefield will finally get Xavier Nady for Perez and Hernandez. Obviously if this is true the deal hinges on what Perez does in New York. John Kruk just guaranteed that he'll be a great pitcher there, so that makes me feel a bit better.

UPDATE (3:23 PM)- SI confirms the deal. I really hope a name is missing somewhere.
