REPORT: Yorvit Torrealba to sign w/ Mets

[cbbryan]

Free-agent catcher Yorvit Torrealba will agree to a three-year contract with the New York Mets on Thursday, according to Torrealba's agent, Melvin Roman.

 

Roman told 1050 ESPN New York that he expects to formalize the agreement with the Mets this afternoon. Roman declined to reveal how much the contract would be worth. GM Omar Minaya did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

Reportedly worth 14.4 Million over 3 years.

holy crap another bad contract

[cbbryan]

It's not 90 million for Torii Hunter, but it's bad!

 

Goes to show what a HR in the playoffs can do for you!

[JeffH]

Torrealba in the postseason:

 

.256/.326/.385/.710

 

Matsui in the postseason:

 

.304/.347/.500/.847

 

If Torrealba's worth $14+/3, expect Hendry to go $17-18/3 on Kazuo.

I wonder if the Mets realize he can't hit outside of Coors field. Or he can't throw runners out anymore.

Eh, if he sucks, they'll just play more Castro. Thats not too bad of a thing. The Castro signing was a good one.

Just saw on ESPN.com that talks have broken off between the two.

Yea, it was in the NY newspapers today. They broke off talks and Torrealba's agent is talking with other teams and the Mets are possibly putting together an offer for Lo Duca.

How many hits did he have in the playoffs?

 

Yeah, thats about how much we would get for him.

Looks like he's staying with the Rockies, along with Herges.

Damn, I was hoping Barrett would end up in Colorado. He'd thrive there.

I had a nightmare last night that the Cubs signed him. It was horrible.
