Mets Source: We Have Zero Interest In Pudge

There was an AP report floating around that the Mets were one of three teams Pudge Rodriguez was considering. However, Bart Hubbuch of the NY Post says that despite what Pudge Rodriguez keeps saying, the Mets aren't interested in the veteran catcher and aren't talking to him about a contract. A high-ranking team source said there has been no discussion about Rodriguez in recent weeks, and the Mets suspect he is simply using their name to try to drum up interest. "We've got our three catchers, and we like them," the source said, referring to Brian Schneider, Ramon Castro and Robinson Cancel. Rodriguez, 37, has been quoted nationally twice in the past week as saying the Mets were attempting to sign him.
