2B: No Offer to Furcal, Hudson likes Mets
As noted in an earlier post, free-agent SS Rafael Furcal told El Caribe that the A’s and Mets have each offered him a contract.
However, in an update to his blog for SI.com, Jon Heyman writes, “I wouldn’t doubt that the A’s
have made him a big offer…I do doubt that the Mets have shown any serious interest.”
In fact, Heyman quotes a person familiar with the Mets dealings as saying, “No offer has been made.”
Meanwhile, at the San Francisco Chronicle, Susan Slusser calls the El Caribe report ‘untrue.’
…hmm, ok, well, some one probably should tell furcal that…
…i mean, it’s not like some anonymous source said the Mets and A’s made an offer…the actual player in question is the guy who made the statement…so, so crazy…
Speaking of second base, according to Andrew Marchand, on his blog for 1050 ESPN Radio, Orlando Hudson‘s first choice is to play for the Mets.
