The New York Mets moved to add a pitcher while still negotiating with higher-profile free agents, nearing agreement with Tim Redding on a one-year contract worth about $2.25 million. Redding's deal is expected to be finalized in several days, two people familiar with the negotiations said Friday, speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made.
