News: Minaya Not Interested in Garcia

According to Burt Hubbach, at his blog for the New York Post, Mets GM Omar Minaya said he is not interested in Freddy Garcia, who was only in town to say hello to his friends Pedro Martinez and Johan Santana.

Earlier today at SI.com, Jon Heyman wrote that Garcia has been seen with his agents at Mets camp in Port St. Lucie.

Garcia is represented by the Greenbergs, the same people who represent Jose Reyes and Santana.

Minaya also said it continues to look like the team will go to salary arbitration with Oliver Perez, who is a free agent after this season, reports John Delcos at his blog for the Journal News.

Delcos also provides a quick update from Willie Randolph, who talked with reporters today about Scott Schoeneweis, who left camp; Moises Alou and Jose Valentin; and his talk with the team, which did not reference ‘the Collapse,’ and will not do so until a 25–man roster is finalized later in camp.
