Roster Moves
A few maneuvers occurred yesterday. Marlon Anderson‘s re-signing became official. Anderson got a two year contract worth $2.2 million. This is viewed as a key move to building a good bench for 2008. Jose Valentin‘s option was declined. The second baseman is now a free agent. This is no surprise. I thought he played ahead […]
Current Thinking on ARod
Ken Davidoff reports in today’s Newsday that the Mets may not be so hot on signing Alex Rodriguez. When asked about the possibility of signing ARod, Omar Minaya said “We’re very happy with Jose Reyes. We’re very happy with David Wright. We’ve got two of the best young players at those positions in the game.” […]
The Climate at Catcher
Ken Rosenthal at FoxSports.com suggests the Yankees be more aggressive in trying to retain Jorge Posada. Rosenthal says he expects the Mets to make a “monster offer” for the catcher. In the meantime Joel Sherman reports in today’s New York Post that the Colorado Rockies are so sure that they will lose catcher Yorvit Torrealba […]
Kazmir May Be Available
For all of those Mets fans still not over the Scott Kazmir trade. According to a Joel Sherman report in today’s New York Post the Tampa Bay Devil Rays may be willing to talk about trading the former Mets stud pitching prospect. I’ve gotten over the whole trade but when you hear a guy who […]
Mets Free Agent Update
Adam Rubin reports in today’s New York Daily News that the Mets are close to re-signing Marlon Anderson. I’ll be curious to see the terms of this deal (mostly the length) because Anderson left the Mets on his last stint with the club over a disagreement on length. He wanted two years, the Mets offered […]

Glavine Files for Free Agency
As expected Tom Glavine filed for free agency yesterday. There is a lot of speculation about where Glavine will pitch next year. Mets general manager Omar Minaya has said he expects to know what Glavine is thinking later in November but I think that it’s unlikely that he will be back with the Mets.
Alou’s Option Picked Up, Easley Signed
The Mets officially began assembling the 2008 team yesterday when they exercised the option on Moises Alou‘s contract and re-signed Damion Easley. Though injuries kept Alou to only 87 games this past season he was one of few bright spots for the Mets in September when he hit for a .402 average. Overall Alou hit […]
Where Will ARod Land? And Will It Affect Wright?
Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports reports on the top 10 destinations for Alex Rodriguez. The Mets rank number 6 on the list and Passan doesn’t seem to be too confident that the Mets will sign the future home run king. But Adam Rubin reports in today’s New York Daily News that the front office has […]
Mets To Look At Posada, Torrealba
Mark Hale reports in today’s New York Post that the Mets are targeting Yankees free agent Jorge Posada to be their catcher for next season. Mets brass has not closed the door on Paul Lo Duca but are clearly looking for other options and since Posada is a free agent it makes sense to talk […]
