05:45 AM ET 12.08 | Met GM Omar Minaya initiated what he hoped would be a series of face-to-face meetings with free-agent closers by having a sitdown last night with Francisco Rodriguez, two baseball officials confirmed to The Post. It was possible the Mets were going to officially extend a three-year contract proposal last night, as well. Minaya also said he had asked for and received permission to meet in person in Vegas with Brian Fuentes and Trevor Hoffman, and was hoping he might be able to do the same with Kerry Wood before these meetings conclude Thursday. Jeff Borris, the representative for both Fuentes and Hoffman, acted surprised when a reporter broached the Met meeting with his clients, but refused to comment further. Besides the face-to-face meetings, the Mets expressed their seriousness to get a closer signed sooner rather than later by having COO Jeff Wilpon attend these meetings, as well.

My general thoughts are that New york will take Rodriguez, probably Cleveland will get Fuentes or Hoffman....probably Hoffman......and Fuentes will end up within the American League too

absolutely-
but I think they will up it to 13.5 if need be
- because he wants 15 per

I don't think he deserves Mariano $$
but the mets HAVE to get a closer so they can start reuilding
the rest of their staff- he is worth overpaying a few mil per-

as I've said in the past- what's the difference if your payroll is
150 mil or 155 mil ?? once you're at that level

As a mets fan, I would LOVE to see this done! I'm sick of people like Wagner and Heilman blowing saves. A proven closer is a must have and would make mine a very nice christmas.
