NEW YORK -- Pitcher Shintaro Fujinami and the New York Mets agreed Friday to a $3.35 million, one-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement was subject to a successful physical.

Fujinami can earn an additional $850,000 in performance bonuses for games: $100,000 for 35 and $250,000 each for 40, 55 and 60.

He joins fellow Japanese pitcher Kodai Senga on the Mets. Senga went 12-7 with a 2.98 ERA and finished second to Arizona outfielder Corbin Carroll in NL Rookie of the Year voting.
