Mets Notes: Young, Santana, Cedeno, Harris

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | January 5, 2012 at 3:29pm CDT

Sandy Alderson told reporters that it's fair to assume the Mets won't sign free agents who cost more than $1.5MM before Spring Training, according to Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com. The GM also explained that teams generally have "a greater reluctance to make a big deal" as Spring Training draws closer. Here are more details on the Mets:

  • Alderson said he's looking to fill out his bench and bullpen, according to Rubin. The GM said he wants a backup shortstop and a "swingman" for the pitching staff. 
  • Alderson recently met with free agent Chris Young in San Diego, according to Rubin. "He's the kind of guy we might re-sign under the right circumstances," the GM said. 
  • Johan Santana is in a normal progression toward Spring Training, Alderson said.
  • The Mets continue looking at Ronny Cedeno as a backup shortstop option, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets.
  • The Mets aren’t likely to attempt to re-sign Willie Harris after agreeing to terms with Scott Hairston earlier today, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News tweets.

    The Mets can do without Ronny Cedeno and his lazy work ethic. They have enough issues already…

          Absolutely, as long as you don’t get hurt in that circus…

          (Yes I feel the picture deserves an encore)

    nothing to remember anymore or look forward to anyway for him. Once you go to the Mets your careers over just look at the history. As much as i love baseball i hate how this team can destroy players careers. (johan,Bay,Delgade,Castillo,Krod,v-zambrano,oliverperez,lists goes on and on)

      Johan had 2 good years, Delgado had an MVP season, Krod did what he usually does, zambrano wasn’t worth mentioning considering he was a nobody before he was a met and probably had his best stretch of baseball before he got hurt in a mets uniform, perez was good for half a season as a rookie, and castillo was over the hill. the only argument you have is bay really

        You seem to be underselling Johan here. He had more than two good years. During his time with the Twins, he was baseball’s best pitcher. Not one of the best. THE BEST.

      No Mets fan can read “Cedeno” and “Mets” in the same context without gagging.

        There was a stretch where the Mets was full of has beens. i remember being maybe 8-9 years old and always telling my dad that the Mets were where good players went to die (ie- Mo Vaughn, Cedeno, Alomar, Ordonez, Glavine, Ordonez, Cone, Floyd)

    Is anyone else scared to see Santana back? i mean Mark Prior had the same injury and was never the same again…it will be awesome to have Santana back healthy but I really am scared to see what is going to happen to Johan (fingers crossed)
