The Mets are not against signing free-agent-to-be Francisco Rodriguez this offseason, according to a team official. New York traded the reliever to Milwaukee this summer and Rodriguez said over the weekend that he wouldn't rule out a return to the Mets. "We haven't ruled anything out," the team official said. "We need a closer. It is a long way down the road. We haven't had those meetings yet. But, for us, I wouldn't rule anything out."
