Mets appear to be the only serious suitor for Cody Ross, Nothing appears imminent
Andy Martino of the New York Daily News gets "a sense" that the Mets' interest in outfielder Cody Ross "is not very strong right now." "Certainly nothing imminent," writes Martino.
New York appears to be Ross' most serious suitor at the moment, but it's likely that the Mets are waiting for his asking price to drop even lower. Ross was looking for a three-year contract when...

The Cody Ross Rumors and The Winter Of Met Fans’ Discontent
So this is what we’ve been reduced to, apparently. So starved for some good news on the acquisition front are we fans, that more than a few of us got excited at the prospect of acquiring a 31-year-old journeyman outfielder. Another right-hander hitter, I might add, so friendlier fences in right and right-center would do him no good. And then, he turned down some rare Wilponic...

Had he been signed instead of Hairston I could understand that but now with Hairston, if they sign Ross the bench will be righty dominated.
