Mets Closing In On Reliever?

The latest on the Mets's search for bullpen help, with the newest updates on top...

• Rauch and the Mets had "good talks" today and are making progress, tweets Rubin.
• The Mets have a list of about 11 attainable relievers, says Adam Rubin of ESPN New York. Rubin adds Octavio Dotel and Jason Isringhausen to the names mentioned below.
• Jose Reyes' agent met with the Mets about other clients such as Endy Chavez, Cesar Izturis, and Ronny Cedeno, which was described as "a little awkward."
• Joel Sherman of the New York Post is getting a strong feeling the Mets are closing in on a late-inning relief type, other than Francisco Cordero.  Andy Martino of the New York Daily News hears the same, and says to think Frank Francisco, Jon Rauch, and Brad Lidge types.  Martino thinks a deal could happen tonight.  Alderson told reporters the Mets are more likely to sign two lesser-priced relievers than one expensive guy.  
• The Mets will probably send someone to see Joel Zumaya throw next week, tweets Sherman.
• Alderson will meet with Scott Boras today, though he told reporters Francisco Rodriguez is unlikely.
• The Mets' five or so top prospects will not be traded, Alderson told reporters including Rubin.
• The Mets have interest in bringing 40-year-old righty Miguel Batista back, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.
