Buzz: Mets Keeping Distance from Lo Duca
According to multiple reports, the agent for free-agent C Paul Lo Duca has e-mailed reporters saying that the Mets apparently do not see his client as a priority ‘at this time.’
Yesterday, at FOXSports.com, Ken Rosenthal wrote…
“The Mets are expected to re-sign Lo Duca if they fail to lure Jorge Posada from the Yankees.”
Last night, the Yankees and Posada reached agreement on a four-year, $52 million deal.
Of course, one week ago, during an appearance on SNY’s Daily News Live, Rosenthal told the show’s host that Lo Duca is as good as gone from the Mets.
…the thing is, i don’t know if lo duca’s agent’s comments take in to account that posada is now off the market, since that will obviously change up how the Mets approach their need at catcher…nevertheless, it’s not like the Mets are the only team with interest in lo duca…the open-market buzz continues to be that teams such as the Rockies and Marlins will look to lo duca, so if the Mets want him, they should just bring him in…now…
