Three More Mets File For Free Agency
Three more Mets filed for free agency yesterday. Aaron Sele, Mike DiFelice and Sandy Alomar Jr. filed. Don’t expect any of them to be back with the Mets next season.
ARod and the Mets?
There’s already been a lot of speculation on where Alex Rodriguez will end up now that it is a certainty that he will be on the open market. There are very strong rumors that have him going to the Los Angeles Dodgers along with Joe Torre and Don Mattingly. But here in New York it […]
Mets Free Agents
Six Mets filed for free agency yesterday. They are: Marlon Anderson Luis Castillo Ramon Castro Damion Easley Shawn Green Paul Lo Duca The obvious missing name here is Tom Glavine but that’s going to happen any day now. If I’m Mets GM Omar Minaya then Castillo becomes the immediate top priority from all the names […]
Metsblog on Sabathia
Over on Metsblog Matthew Cerrone puts forth the idea that C.C. Sabathia may be a more realistic acquisition for the Mets than everyone’s off season dream, Johan Santana.
Marcus Giles: Free Agent
Marcus Giles was waived yesterday by the San Diego Padres. Though he has not had a very good last two years he would be worth bringing into spring training to compete for the Mets starting 2B job should the team end up parting ways with Luis Castillo. If Castillo goes then Ruben Gotay is the […]
Alou’s Option Will Be Picked Up
The rumor mill is strong about the Mets picking up the option of left fielder Moises Alou. The Mets have until November 15 to exercise the option. If the option is exercised Alou would make $7.5 million for the 2008 season.
Injury Updates
Mets second baseman Luis Castillo had surgery to clean out his left knee which was bothering him this past season. He is expected to be ready for spring training. He is, of course, a free agent so even if he’s ready it doesn’t guarantee he’ll be a Met. Duaner Sanchez is recovering nicely and is […]
Three Rehabbing Pitchers
Some off season injury notes…. Orlando Hernandez had a bunion removed from his foot. El Duque will also have surgery to repair a tendon in his right foot. He should be ready in plenty of time for spring training. Duaner Sanchez may participate in winter ball and is expected to be ready for spring training. […]
Pedro Returns
Pedro Martinez‘s return from surgery has been widely reported in many venues since it was announced before Friday’s game but I thought I would mention it here anyway. Pedro will make the Labor Day start this afternoon against the Cincinnati Reds. It’s a pretty good time to get Pedro back. Though the Mets swept the […]
Mets Get Conine
With Damion Easley possibly done for the year and Carlos Delgado‘s status unknown the Mets traded two single A players to the Reds for Jeff Conine. The veteran Conine plays both corner outfield positions and first base. He has also played a little third base. Conine is a good addition. At 41 he’s close to […]
