Day 2 of the Winter Meetings is winding down and as we head into Day 3, it is a good time to look at the players the Mets have been connected to so far over the last week:
- Jeremy Hefner: Mets have resigned him to a minor league deal
- Johan Santana: Over the last few days there has been increased chatter about teams interested in Santana. The Mets look to be one of seven teams interested in the pitcher with the Orioles as another major player. (Source)
- Stephen Drew: Red Sox and Twins are both in on Drew as well. Mets will only act if the price/years drop
- Freddy Garcia: Mets also talked to his agent. (Source).
- Bartolo Colon: Looking for a one year deal. Mets have checked in but will be pricey.
- Daisuke Matsuzaka: Alderson said on Monday he has not really talked to Daisuke yet
- Bronson Arroyo: Reds, Twins and Mets are all in Bronson. It feels like the Mets though are last on this list.
- Dustin Ackerly: Heymen says the Mets are interested in Ackerly who is currently a Mariner
- Cesar Iztrus: Mets might consider him as a back up.
- JJ Hardy: The Mets have asked about Hardy.
- Nick Markakis: The Mets have asked about Markakis
- Dylan Bundy: There is some debate if the Mets asked the Orioles about Bundy or if the Mets just discussed Bundy internally
Excited for Day 3!
