Buzz: Mets have Interest in B-Market
According to the New York Post, while the Mets continue to have interest in trading for a front-end starting pitcher, they also have interest in free-agent Japanese RHP Hiroki
Kuroda, RHP Livan Hernandez and RHP Shawn Chacon, ‘who could start or relieve.’
By the way, the D’Backs offered salary arbitration to Hernandez, meaning any team who signs him must surrender a supplemental first-round pick to Arizona.
Meanwhile, in the Daily News, Roger Rubin writes that the Mets should also consider free-agent RHP Bartolo Colon, who Omar Minaya once traded for while working for the Expos.
Accordint to a recent report from Yahoo! Japan, Kuroda is believed to be seeking a four-year, $45 million contract, and will soon make an announcement about whether he intends to sign with a team in Japan or MLB.
