Mets Closing In On Reliever?

By Tim Dierkes | December 6, 2011 at 7:08pm CDT

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.

    A bit awkward? What does that mean?

      I guess it means that there might be a bit of uncomfortableness with Reyes’ agent after Marlins signed his client.

        I just don’t see ex-Marine Alderson as having an awkward feeling in his body. He is the baseball is a business type. But yeah, I overlooked that.

    Sorry but i dont trade Daniel Murphy for Andy Dirks alone. Murphy it great utility. Also can play regular with good AVG. and RBI production. Not have great defense, but can play more well than others regular players from other team. If the Mets trade Murphy i think it for Dirks and Al Alburquerque. Murphy it excellent player. Dont gift Murphy for nothing.

    Sorry but where it the head of Mets GM and Assistant. Sign 40 year player to play in the MLB level. Ou noooo…..I prefer to see A player and dont see old timer play in the Mets team.  I dont understand why dont sign Harang. The only way to understand that it, the Mets gone call up Harvey, Mr. W and Groski. If am Mets GM i push to sign Varitek, why because hes good Capitan. He can help to develop the young ARms that the Mets have in Harvey, Big Z W and  Groski.

    It was probably pretty awkward because those players are terrible and the agent thought of a minor league deal while the Mets insisted on a major league contract.

    Rauch had good talks? Does this mean he’s set on declining arbitration?
