Daisuke Matsuzaka has more than a million reasons to make the Mets: 

Sure, Matsuzaka's made over $51 million in his career so far, but every million counts (we assume). 

The man affectionately known as Dice-K "will compete with left-hander John Lannan and right-hander Jenrry Mejia for a rotation role," writes ESPN's Adam Rubin. 

The Star-Ledger's Andy McCullough said it best about the Mets re-signing Matsuzaka: "Tickets are still available." They certainly are.
