Mets to part with Putz
The Mets -- remember them? -- do not plan to exercise their $9.1 million option on J.J. Putz -- remember him? -- and will pay him a $1 million buyout. As a free agent, Putz will be free to sign with any team, but it would be hard to imagine him returning to the Mets. He accepted a new role as setup man when he joined them in a blockbuster deal last December, but would prefer to close again. No chance that happens with the Mets, who already have Francisco Rodriguez.

I think he would be a good investment for the Rays if they can get him for $1 or $2 million.

He put up good numbers as a closer in Seattle. The set up role didn't seem to work very well for him or the Mets.

Maybe after all of the injuries this the Mets finally relized they have a steriod problem and need to get clean players. Guess the next is Delgado. Either that or he is not spanish enough for Los Mets
