Relief Pitcher: K-Rod missing Medical Reports
In today’s Daily News, Adam Rubin reports Francisco Rodriguez has yet to receive a single offer because the Angels have yet to release the closer’s medical reports.
Yesterday, at 1050 ESPN Radio, Rick Coutinho wrote that Rodriguez would be in New York this week to get a physical.
However, according to Rubin, citing the player’s agent, as well as a team official, Rodriguez will not be visiting New York for a tour at any time this week.
In Newsday, David Lennon explains, “The Mets still are waiting on the medical reports for both K-Rod and Fuentes, and once they have a chance to examine that information, it then becomes a matter of talking to the players, either in New York or during an on-site visit by the front-office staff. That could happen by the end of this week, at the earliest, but there is also the possibility it may stretch past Thanksgiving, as well.”
Lennon also writes about the team’s current priority list, as well as when to expect Oliver Perez, Derek Lowe and others to sign this off-season.
