Buzz: Return of The Stache
According to El Nuevo Dia, free-agent 2B Jose Valentin is close to re-signing with the Mets.
…from what i can gather, this would
not be a guaranteed deal…i would think if he’s healthy, playing well, and there is space on the roster, the Mets would love to have him since he’s highly regarded within the locker room…
Valentin had season-ending ACL surgery on his knee in late September, which he initially hurt in April.
He told the newspaper that he still not 100 percent, and may need to begin the year at Triple-A, but of all the teams he is negotiating with it is the Mets who have shown the most interest.
The Mets declined Valentin’s $4.3 million option for 2008 during early November.
