Starting Pitcher: Mets are waiting for Boras

by Matthew Cerrone on December 20th, 2008 at 10:01 am

Jon Heyman of SI.com believes the Mets are waiting for Scott Boras to find Mark Teixeira a new contract before seriously engaging him about free-agents Derek Lowe and Oliver Perez.

Heyman says the Mets will first target Lowe, then turn to Perez or Randy Wolf in necessary, from Category A, after which they’ll also look to acquire a pitcher from Category B, such as free agent Freddy Garcia or Tim Redding, or Cubs RHP Jason Marquis.

So, to follow the Teixeira market, during which a) the Red Sox are still very much alive, and b) the Mets have never been mentioned as a suitor, read the play-by-play at MLB Trade Rumors.
