The Mets hold a $5 million option on R.A. Dickey for next season, but both sides would like to void that option in favor of a new long-term contract.

Dickey is the first Mets pitcher to win 20 games since 1990.

"He's probably looking at Oliver Perez dollars for sure," a veteran agent said.

Perez landed a three-year deal worth $36 million from the Mets before the 2009 season.
