Mets Notes: Collins, Wright, Davis, Bay, K-Rod

The Mets formally introduced Terry Collins as their new manager today. Here's the latest on Collins and the team he'll take over (all links go to Twitter):

• Collins' deal runs through 2012 with an option for 2013, according to Andy Martino of the New York Daily News.
• Mets GM Sandy Alderson told Jim Bowden of Siruis XM Radio that the Mets don't have untouchables, but aren't likely to trade David Wright, Ike Davis or Jason Bay.
• Alderson also said the Mets could spend over-slot on the draft if necessary.
• The Mets expect Francisco Rodriguez to be the closer in 2011, Alderson told Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com. K-Rod has a 2012 option that vests based on games finished and health, but Alderson says that won't affect the way the team handles him.
