Jeff Francis says reports indicating he's close to a contract agreement are false.
He has been targeted by the Mets, Yankees and others, but the left-hander doesn't appear to have received any official offers.
"It's exciting for people to read because they think there's lots of things happening, but it's not as fast-paced as it's all made out to be," Francis said.
"Teams are interested, but that's about it at this point."
