Relief Pitcher: Fuentes and K-Rod to Meet Mets

by Matthew Cerrone on December 1st, 2008 at 7:08 am

Free-agent LHP Brian Fuentes is scheduled to meet the Mets, according to the player’s agent, reports Troy E. Renck in today’s Denver Post.

Last week, in the Daily News, Adam Rubin wrote Fuentes is seeking a three-year deal worth around $33 million, which the Mets feel is too expensive, ‘but they are still interested.’

Meanwhile, over the weekend, Francisco Rodriguez’s agent told the Associated Press that he will meet the Mets during next week’s Winter Meetings.

According to the report, the agent said, “I don’t have anything else planned.”

i love this guy’s honesty

…as i said before, i still believe it will cost three-years, plus an option, at close to $15 million per season, to sign rodriguez…and so, i’m not sure i’d prefer fuentes at a slight discount…
