Mets Rumors: Castillo, Heilman, Putz

The latest on the Mets...

• Joel Sherman of the New York Post says Luis Castillo met with the Mets and implored them to keep him.  Castillo said he'll get into shape this winter.  The Mets will still consider trade possibilities, but a deal doesn't seem likely.
• David Lennon of Newsday reports that Aaron Heilman called Omar Minaya yesterday to request a move to the rotation.  The Mets are still opposed to it.  Lennon adds that the Mets have received Francisco Rodriguez's medical records.  Sherman says the Mets don't even want to do four years for K-Rod though.
• Tracy Ringolsby says the Mets have targeted J.J. Putz as their priority.  ESPN's Jayson Stark said the same yesterday.  With Putz set to earn just $5MM next year, the move would give the Mets the flexibility to fill other needs or add a free agent closer anyway.  Similarly, Shermans says the Mets "remain very interested in Huston Street."
