The 28-year-old right-hander made $390,000 last season, his fourth with
Seattle. He was 3-6 with two blown saves, a 3.06 ERA, 52 strikeouts and 17
walks in a career-high 55 games. That likely would have been his third
consecutive season with 50 appearances, had he not spent six weeks of 2004 on
the disabled list with elbow tendinitis.
He is 8-8 with a 3.56 ERA, two
saves, five blown saves, 181 strikeouts and 58 walks in 162 career games.

Mateo's deal, contingent on the successful completion of a physical, calls
for a $150,000 signing bonus and salaries of $625,000 in 2006 and $1 million
in 2007. Seattle holds a $1.5 million option for 2008 with a $100,000 buyout.
Mateo could increase his 2008 base salary by $50,000 each for 55 appearances
and 60 appearances in 2007 and another $100,000 if he appears in 65 games.
