We'll kick off today's John Lackey post with a Buster Olney tweet: the ESPN scribe says the Mets will meet with Lackey's agent Steve Hilliard tonight (or later this week, corrects Newsday's David Lennon). Joel Sherman of the New York Post wrote earlier today that the Mets are hesitant to exceed four years with Lackey. Lackey, however, might be looking to top A.J. Burnett's five-year, $82.5MM deal.
