Marquis off the market, Return for Pedro?
Free agent RHP Jason Marquis agreed to a 2 year, 15 million dollar deal with the Washington Nationals Monday. The Long Island native was thought to be an off-season target of the Mets.
ESPN’s Jayson Stark is reporting NY is talking to veteran SP Pedro Martinez about a return to Queens. However, the proud righty is seeking a salary in the Brad Penny range(1 yr/8 million with incentives) and Mets management might balk at this.
No updates on LF Jason Bay or C Bengie Molina at this time.
I still think the Mets will sign those two and add a top 3 starting pitcher, a Joel Pineiro or Jon Garland type. You also see lots of rumors involving 2B Luis Castillo involved.
