I literally woke up yesterday and said, “I feel like we are getting a closer today!” Now although that might be a sad testament of my life, and probably due to my life being crushed by finals right now, there is that exciting feeling in the air, isn't there?
Anyway, I was very excited to hear that not only did the Mets offer a contract to K-rod, but they met with Fuentes, they set up a meeting to meet with Wood, they had talks about Street and Ryan (maybe), they set up a meeting with Cordero and they could have set up a meeting with Hoffman. That is a lot of meetings.
There are conflicting stories right now, but it sounds like the Mets are close to signing a three year deal with Krod (37 mil), even though some people are saying thats not happening (pick a paper in New York, flip a coin, and thats how they feel about this deal going through soon). However, there have been no reports of Krod meeting with other teams, which looks good for the Mets. If we can get this signing out of the way today, we can probably turn our attention to:
a) starting pitching
b) more closers via trade
c) Cheap replacements in the Pen (like Cordero)
d) changing catchers, which I still don't know how I feel about that yet
