Eli's MLB Rumors:
The Mets are interested in free agent reliever Will Ohman. Ohman, who went 4-1 with a 3.68 ERA in 58 innings last season, is the top lefty reliever remaining on the market. The Mets view him as a lefty counterpart in the bullpen to Pedro Feliciano. The Phillies are also interested in Ohman, as are the Braves, but they are talking with Tom Glavine and only have about 5-6 million dollars left to spend this offseason.
