According to Jim Molony at MLB.com, the Phillies have officially released 2B Tadahito Iguchi, making him a free agent.

The Mets are mentioned by Molony as a possible destination, along with the Twins, Padres and Dodgers.

…at the very least, the Mets should talk to iguchi and use him for leverage, as Luis Castillo wanting four years is a bit much, and i’m not sold on David Eckstein by any means…if he’s willing to accept a friendlier contract than castillo or eckstein, it may be worth considering since the second-base market is so thin…
