The New York Post is reporting that the Mets are planning on picking up Carlos Delgado's option for the 2009 season.

The story quotes Omar Minaya as saying the pickup of Delgado's contract is, "a formality."

Delgado hit 38 Home Runs and knocked in 115 runs this season.

I want Delgado to return. I think he has earned a shot to do some damage in the new stadium. Some say that we risk returning to Carlos Delgado circa 2007. Let's fact it. We take a risk with any player we add to play first base. I would rather go out and get someone new to address our problems in Left Field (maybe Manny Ramirez) and second base.

According to the story Delgado wants to come back. Delgado said, "I'd like to be back. I think it's a great group of guys"
