Lyon would become the latest in a flurry of late signings to bolster the team's bullpen.
The Mets also recently have added veteran right-handers Scott Atchison and LaTroy Hawkins and left-hander Pedro Feliciano to minor league contracts.
Lyon, 33, went a combined 4-2 with a 3.10 ERA in 67 relief appearances last season with the Houston Astros and Toronto Blue Jays.
Lyon will also provide some insurance for Frank Francisco, who has closer experience...
