July 2013 - New York Mets Wiretap

The New York Mets remain in contact with Scott Boras about the possibility of signing Stephen Drew, according to a source.

However, the source likened the situation to New York's pursuit of Michael Bourn last winter. Bourn eventually signed with the Cleveland Indians, but not before the Mets made a run at signing him.

The New York Mets have remained in contact with the Milwaukee Brewers, Baltimore Orioles and Pittsburgh Pirates about Ike Davis.

The Mets haven't been able to pry top pitching prospect Eduardo Rodriguez away from the Orioles in trade talks.

Rodriguez, 20, posted a combined 3.41 ERA with 7.8 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 in 145 innings between Class-A Advanced and Double-A in 2013.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have interest in acquiring Ike Davis and Mitch Moreland via trade.

The Mets officially added a significant piece to their starting rotation on Saturday, announcing a two-year contract with right-hander Bartolo Colon.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but MLB.com reported on Wednesday that Colon will make $20M.

The New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers have discussed a trade centered around Ike Davis twice this week.

The Tampa Bay Rays and Pittsburgh Pirates have also been linked to Davis.

The Minnesota Twins are making progress on a two-year contract agreement with Mike Pelfrey, according to a source.

Minnesota initially offered Pelfrey a two-year, $10 million deal.

The New York Mets have reached an agreement with Bartolo Colon on a two-year, $20 million contract, according to a source.

Colon, 40, went 18-6 with a 2.65 ERA in 30 starts for the Oakland Athletics last season.

Curtis Granderson lobbed a playful zinger at his former team on Tuesday while introduced as a member of the New York Mets.

Granderson spent the last four seasons with the New York Yankees, hitting 74 home runs.

"A lot of the people I've met in New York have always said that true New Yorkers are Mets fans," Granderson said. "So I'm excited to get a chance to see them all out there."

Granderson received a four-year, $60 million deal from the Mets, including a $13 million salary for 2014.

"They were open with me," he said of the Yankees. They said, 'Hey, we have a couple of other options that we're considering.' I said, 'I completely understand. We're doing the same thing.'"

Curtis Granderson and the New York Mets have agreed upon a four-year, $60 million contract.

The Mets also added Chris Young to their outfield this offseason.

Granderson was most recently with the New York Yankees.

Curtis Granderson and the New York Mets are making progress on a three-year deal.

Granderson met with Sandy Alderson on Sunday.

The Mets already signed Chris Young this offseason, meaning the addition of Granderson would give their outfield a legitimate power boost.

Granderson suffered a broken forearm during spring training and a pinkie injury later in the season limited him to 245 plate appearances.

If the Mets sign Granderson, it would surely become the biggest contract of Alderson's four-year tenure.
