Blog: Robinson Speculates on Torrealba

At his blog for MSNBC.com, former Mets broadcaster Ted Robinson takes a look at why the deal between the Mets and free-agent C Yorvit Torrelalba collapsed.

Robinson wonders if the upcoming Mitchell Report on steroids played in to the Mets decision, while noting that Torrealba was a teammate of several players who were called before the BALCO grand jury while playing with the Giants.

Robinson also wonders how the Mets will replace Tom Glavine‘s reliability and says the Mets have some ‘work ahead’ to match the reloaded Braves.
