Relief Pitcher: Mets not Sold on K-Rod

In Newsday, David Lennon says, ‘The Mets are not completely sold on Francisco Rodriguez,’ according to a person familiar with the club’s thinking.

However, in Lennon’s opinion, ‘this could have more to do with the agent’s early talk of a five-year deal.’

…i believe the Mets have total interest in K-Rod, but are working the market in an effort to get his price to drop, which it will…they like Brian Fuentes as well, though, personally, i would prefer K-Rod, simply because i trust him more on a big stage

i sense the Mets want their next closer locked up before the Winter Meetings, where their focus will likely be centered around starting pitching
