According to CBS San Fransisco The Giants have signed Free Agent C Benjie Molina to a one-year, $4.5 million contract. The Mets apparently offered Molina a final "take-it-or-leave-it" contact, which he turned down and opted to return to San Fran. In the wake of the Mets The Mets are now turning their attention to another free agent catcher - Yorvit Torrealba. Torrealba hit .291 with a .351 OBP with two HR in 64 games for the Rockies last year, while in a platoon situation.
I actually like this. At first I was shocked and a little angry, but after mulling it over, I am happy the Mets stuck to their guns and did not overpay for Molina. Hopefully the money saved on Molina can be used into more pitching (I still advocate Sheets and Garland and maybe even Joe Beimel) and they can sign someone like Torrealba or Barajas to split time with Blanco and Santos.
