There has been a good amount of Curtis Granderson news in the last week:
- Curtis Granderson could consider taking the 1 year offer from the Yankees
- The Yankees do not want Granderson to take the qualifying offer
- The Phillies could look to Free Agency to upgrade at CF which includes players like Granderson
- The Mets have some interest in Granderson
- Both Chicago Teams are interesting in Granderson
As far as the Mets focus on Granderson goes, I think it is deeply tied to the Ike Davis market.
If the Ike Davis market goes towards a SS or leadoff hitter (like Aoki) then Granderson would make a lot more sense for the Mets.
If the Davis market though becomes power bat heavy, not depending on the position, then I think the Mets may lose interest in Granderson. This could mean a certain player from the Rockies who plays SS (which I highly, highly doubt will happen and is a pie in the sky pipe dream) or a much more likely situation with Blue Jays or Angels. In this case, the Mets would spend money to fill in SS or the rotation.
