Buyer Beware! 3265875 2008-11-06T15:37:56-05:00 25 NJ nmigliore Fair Lawn 601350 1 I hope the Mets dont bite on Jenks if the Sox sell him so easily.. hes good, not great. I much prefer a deal for someone like Putz or just sign Fuentes or K-Rod. 3 musts for the Mets this offseason = Must get AT LEAST 1 starting pitcher, Must get a new 2nd baseman (O-Dog PLEASE), Must upgrade the bullpen (#1 priority, includes acquiring a closer) 3264979 2 <p>DANA POINT, Calif. -- As was the case with <strong>Manny Ramirez</strong>, the Dodgers are hoping to keep free-agent shortstop <strong>Rafael Furcal</strong>&nbsp;with a two-year deal, as well. The Dodgers are offering Furcal a two-year contract for about $25 to 30 million, according to a person familiar with their thinking.</p> <div>However, a source close to Furcal said "they know that isn't going to fly.'' Furcal is said to have interest from "eight to 10'' teams after hitting .357 in an injury-shortened 2008 season. The Orioles and Royals are believed to be two of the other teams involved.</div> <div> <hr /> <p>The ever aggressive White Sox are said to be willing to accept trade offers on closer <strong>Bobby Jenks</strong>, which could spice&nbsp;up the market for relievers. But to acquire Jenks would "take quite a bit,'' said a source familiar with the White Sox's thinking.</p> <div>The Mets, Rangers, Indians and Cardinals are among teams looking for back-end bullpen help. Francisco Rodriguez and Brian Fuentes are the top free-agent closer.</div> </div> http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY Jon Heyman New York 10084 21022
