TWITTER RUMORS: Torrealba or Barajas Coming Soon? Washburn Maybe?

According to Joe DeMayo's re tweet on Twitter:
I'm hearing from my source #Mets are talking to Torrealba and Barajas agents. Very likely to end up with one of them. Could be offers out.
Now, because this rumor is coming from Twitter, I would take this with a grain of salt, but nevertheless I would be happy if the Mets were to acquire either of them. Both Torrealba and Barajas are experienced backstops and would present an upgrade over the incumbent Omir Santos. My personal preference would be Barajas who put up 19 HR and 71 RBIs last year. He could provide a bit more pop that this lineup needs.

Also, Andrew Marchand tweeted that the Mets may be rethinking their strategy and might make a run at Free Agent SP Jarrod Washburn. While I was totally against making a run at Washburn earlier this season, at this point he is just a body to stick in the rotation. And who knows? He could be pretty decent if pitching in the spacious Citi Field...
