With free agency now open, three Mets have filed for Free Agency: Oliver Perez, Damion Easley, and Matt Wise.
It is believed that the Mets have more than a slight interest in free agent Derek Lowe (Dodgers). He would round out the Mets staff nicely if, which is expected, Pedro and Ollie don’t return.
The Free Agency filing period is open until November 13th. During that period, only the club in which the player played last season, is permitted to try and work out a contract. No other team(s) may pursue a player during this period.
Easley would like to return to the Mets, but he will be 39 next month. Easley, who was a real team player with a professional attitude, will be missed, but the Mets need to look down the road, and a 39-year-old 2B/utlility player really isn’t the way to proceed.
Wise only appeared in six games for the Mets after the team signed him as a free agent last December. Wise was one of the many injuries the Mets suffered in 2008.
As for O.P., I would be real surprised if he returns. His agent is none other than Scott Boras, and Boras usually doesn’t put any stock in what is best for the players. The only thing on Boras’ mind is $. I think the Mets would like O.P. back, but if he is looking for $14M annually, and about a seven year deal, that is too much for an erratic pitcher.
