“A number of clubs have shown interest in Mets OF Angel Pagan,” according to John Paul Morosi of FoxSports.com.

In November, Adam Rubin of the Daily News said the Royals are impressed with Pagan, and would be willing to send money and OF Jose Guillen to the Mets to get him.

However, though Morosi believes the Royals like Pagan, he adds, “the Mets don’t have interest in Guillen.”

Pagan will be eligible for salary arbitration each of the next three seasons, after which he can become a free agent.  He was drafted by the Mets in 1999.

Pagan hit .303 in 152 at bats last season when leading off the inning, while batting .321 with runners in scoring position.
