Francisco RodriguezFrancisco Rodriguez and the Mets are near a settlement that will keep the closer's grievance against his team from being heard before an arbitrator, according to the New York Post.

A hearing between Rodriguez and the Mets had been scheduled for Monday, but, according to the report, it is unlikely to go forward and a settlement could be announced early next week.

Rodriguez was arrested on Aug. 11 at Citi Field, New York's home ballpark, after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend's father. A week after he was arrested -- following a two-day stint on the restricted list and one appearance -- it was revealed that Rodriguez had a torn ligament in his right thumb that required season-ending surgery.
