CHRIS YOUNG RUMORS & GOSSIP

Sandy Alderson tells ESPN's Jerry Crasnick that the Mets are open to bringing back right-hander Chris Young, likely on a minor league contract.  Young made just four starts for the Mets last year before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery, but he tells Crasnick that he hopes to be pitching by April and his "arm feels the best it has felt in quite some time" (both Twitter links).

Jerry Crasnick of ESPN, confirmed that Mets GM Sandy Alderson would be interested in bringing back right-handed pitcher Chris Young under the right circumstances and most likely only on a minor league deal. Last month on a conference call with reporters, Alderson said he had recently met with Young in San Diego: “He’s the kind of guy we might re-sign under the right circumstances...

At this point in the offseason, it looks like the Mets roster is mostly filled out. They do have two more holes they need to fill though; sixth starting pitcher and a utility infielder for the bench. They are not huge glaring holes, but that are positions that are important to fill if the Mets want to be successful in 2012. With the question of Johan Santana’s health, it’s very...

Joel Sherman of the New York Post says that the Mets are open to bringing back right-hander Chris Young on a minor league contract. Young, 32, posted a 1.88 ERA and 22/11 K/BB ratio over four starts with the Mets last season before undergoing surgery in May to repair a torn anterior capsule in his right shoulder and missing the rest of the season. Young’s agent ran into Corey...

The crushing, yet expected news came down late yesterday afternoon that the most reliable Mets pitcher this year, Chris Young, is most likely done for the season.It was reported that Y0ung has the same injury that has sidelined Johan Santana: an anterior capsule tear in shoulder. It is very likely Chris Young's season, as well as possibly his Mets career is over. That is a shame because Young

News hit Monday that Chris Young “essentially” has the same shoulder injury that Johan Santana suffered. This means his 2011 season is likely over. Everyone knew that Young was a huge injury risk but we certainly hoped he would throw more than 24 IP before he was shut down for the season. The Mets’ financial situation forced them to shop in the bargain basement rack of...

Considering how it began, you have to be satisfied with the Mets’ six-game homestand against the Giants and Dodgers. A split was about as good as could be expected, and that’s what the Mets got. Perhaps the most significant development coming out of the homestand was Chris Young’s second appointment to the disabled list. He was a gamble signing to begin with, so this really...

ESPN's Adam Rubin is now reporting that the Mets have placed SP Chris Young on the disabled list after he was unable to loosen up prior to last night's game. Since then, it was reported the Young has experienced tightness in the back of his throwing shoulder and over the course of the week, had received two cortisone shots to relieve the problem. We have come to learn,...

Chris Young takes the hill for the Mets tonight as they try to salvage the last game of the three-game series against the Phillies and end their six-game road trip with a .500 record. Young has made three starts for the Mets and was dominant in his first two and not so hot in his last one, his first time back since landing on the disabled list with an injured biceps. The big question...

In a surprising turn of events, the Mets have placed right-hander Chris Young on the disabled list and promoted Pat Misch from Triple-A Buffalo. Young experienced biceps tendinitis after his first two starts, and although he reported some improvement, his Sunday start was in jeopardy. Misch was called up to replace him, but it is not known if he will start on Sunday yet. Interestingly...
