Mets Sign Kelvim Escobar

According to Metsblog and Lider en Deportes, the Mets have signed Kelvim Escobar to a 1 year deal.

It is not confirmed if the deal is a Major or Minor League deal, but honestly who cares!  With the way this offseason is shaping up, these are the exact kinds of moves I want to see my team make.  Forget about Bay.  Forget about Molina.  4 or 5 of these types of small acquisitions versus one big signing will help the Mets more, and provide them financial flexibility in the near term (trade deadline) and in the long term.

Glad to see they are not sitting on their hands.  Now sign Gomes.  Also, rumor has it that the Reds & Mets have been trying to work out a deal.  Cincinnati is looking to dump salary in Harrang, Arroyo, Cordero & Phillips.   I would rather have Arroyo or Harrang, but If the mets could get either as well as Phillips & Cordero you could pretty much wrap up the offseason.  It would be a Major improvement.  Of  course that would mean they take Castillo (and prob. some cash), as well as a MLB ready pitcher (Maine or Pelfry) and a prospect or two (F-Mart).  I would still do it.

Anyway, that is my Christmas wish: For the Mets to work out a deal with the Reds.  Then we could put a nice lump of coal in both Bay's & Molina's stocking!

Merry X-Mas WTTTB!  And thanks Again to Mike & Matt for providing this forum.

Merry X-mas to you as well Benny. I've been away the past few days but I absolutely love this signing by the Mets. Low risk, extremely high reward. If healthy he will at least compete for the set up role. He has phenomenal stuff, and maybe he could eventually return to a starting role. Can't say enough about how much I like this signing.
