Buzz: Mets to Wait on Livan, Lohse, etc

According to the Daily News and Newsday, the Mets are not likely to sign free-agent RHP Livan Hernandez, ‘or any other pitcher,’ until they become ‘convinced’ that a deal for Johan Santana will not happen.

…so, it’s trade for santana or sign hernandez or Kyle Lohse, i guesswhich would suggest that Orlando Hernandez will be in the starting rotation, either way

On Friday, the Rocky Mountain News wrote that the Mets are ‘close to a deal’ with Hernandez.

By the way, according to MLB.com, free-agent Bartolo Colon showed little interest in an incentive-laden deal from the White Sox.

…if colon is holding out for a guaranteed contract, and roster spot, at roughly $8 million per year, i’ll pass…
