News: K-Rod News, Sooner than Later
Omar Minaya is expected to speak with reporters from the Bellagio some time in the next hour or so.
…my guess is he will announce Francisco Rodriguez passed his physical and is officially the newest member of the Mets…
Rodriguez toured Citi Field today following his physical, while wearing a Mets cap and jacket, alongside the team’s COO Jeff Wilpon.
SNY will air exclusive video of Rodriguez’s tour of Citi Field during tonight’s Mets Hot Stove show at 7 pm.
By the way, the Mets apparently told reporters this morning that Rodriguez would like to wear No. 17.
Update, 4:58 PM:
According to Adam Rubin, in a report for the Daily News, the Mets are expected to hold a news conference next Wednesday to introduce Rodriguez.
However, adds Rubin, “With Citi Field not ready to host press conferences, the location of next week’s event is unclear.”
