According to the Chicago Tribune, the Rangers are now longer interested in free-agent RHP Freddie Garcia.

Meanwhile, in an older post to SI.com, Jon Heyman wrote that the Mets were among teams who were pursuing Garcia, who will not be able to pitch until June, ‘at the earliest.’

…the buzz during the Winter Meetings had been that the Mets were the front runners for garcia, but were holding back until they know how best to proceed in the trade market

…from what i can gather, the Mets continue to have interest in Bartolo Colon, as well, while monitoring his progress in the Winter Leagues…
