Buzz: The Mets, Phillies and Lohse

According to a post on Monday from Tim Brown at Yahoo! Sports, free-agent LHP Kyle Lohse is considering offers from the Mets and Phillies, ‘both of which could go to four years.’

However, according to Todd Zolecki at his blog for the Philadelphia Daily News, there is nothing to the above report from Yahoo!.

Meanwhile, in a report for Newsday, Ken Davidoff writes that the Mets ‘do not seem particularly interested’ in free-agent starting pitchers Livan Hernandez, Carlos Silva or Lohse, ‘unless their prices drop.’

In 34 starts for the Reds and Phillies last season, the 29–year-old Lohse was 9–12 with a 4.63 ERA, while striking out 122 batters through 192 innings.
