Mets Interested In Torrealba

The Mets will have interest in catcher Yorvit Torrealba if the Rockies decline his $4 million option. It would require some fence-mending for Torrealba to end up with the Mets. He has a pending grievance against them for backing out of a three-year deal when he was a free agent after the 2007 season.

Source: Mets Won't Consider Dealing Beltran

The Mets will not entertain the idea of trading center fielder Carlos Beltran this winter, according to sources.

Instead, the team is expected to add pieces to their roster as they look to turnaround following a few disappointing seasons.

A story in the Boston Herald recently suggested that the Mets might deal Beltran to the Red Sox if Boston isn't able to re-sign Jason Bay.

Beltran has two years, each at $18.5 million left on his contract.
