Relief Pitcher: Mets contact K-Rod, Fuentes
“Omar Minaya today began reaching out to the 
agents for free-agent closers Francisco Rodriguez and Brian Fuentes,” wrote Jon Heyman last night to his blog for SI.com.
…ding, ding, ding…let the games begin…
Yesterday in the Daily News, after speaking with Minaya, Adam Rubin wrote, “conversations with agents may get more substantive later this week.”
However, in his report, Heyman adds, “It is believed Minaya begun laying the groundwork with agents today to meet at the Winter meetings, which begin Dec. 8 in Las Vegas, Nev.”

However, the New York Post wrote, ‘contrary to a published report,’ the team didn’t receive the medical report until Monday of this week.
…the thing is, they may both be right…
…the way it was explained to me, the team may have initially been sent medical information from rodriguez’s agent, i.e., the pitcher’s personal records, while the Angels delivered his official medical reports a few days ago…two reports, same player, same type of documents, two different dates…
