Buzz: Torrealba’s Shoulder?
The Associated Press is reporting that the Mets ‘ended’ negotiations with free-agent C Yorvit Torrealba.
Meanwhile, in a report for MLB.com, citing a person familiar with the team’s negotiations, Marty Noble writes that Torrealba’s right shoulder might have been the cause.
…the more i think about it, though, the more i just can’t buy that it’s a shoulder issue…i mean, the Rockies, who watched him all season go in and out of the trainer’s room, offered him a two-year deal, so how big of a deal could his health have been…
Of course, Noble also explains, “Another person indicated the reason wasn’t related to the results of any tests other than a routine physical.”
…either way, what’s interesting is that the team and even Omar Minaya are telling people that talks are off, over, done, and will not resume…it is what it is…so, basically, no torrealba for you…
