In Ken Davidoff's baseball insider he has this to say about K-Rod and Manny:

The Mets can't be passive as they have in the past two years with relievers, they must go out and find a closer, but where will they find one....... There's the big two in free agency in K-Rod and Brian Fuentes. I think if the reports are true the Mets have all but past on...
