Mets Would Consider Re-Signing Santana
The New York Mets will consider bringing back Johan Santana on a small contract as they look to fill holes in their rotation.
The Mets are going to buyout Santana's contract for 2014 at $5.5 million, avoiding a $25 million salary for the season. Santana missed this past season as he underwent surgery to repair a torn anterior capsule in his left shoulder.
"I think that's a possibility," Sandy Alderson said of bringing back Santana. "I don't really know what Johan's thinking. We'll talk to him, I'm sure, over the next couple of weeks but I think he wants to pitch. We'll just have to see what the market is for these guys and how much of our resources we want to allocate to somebody coming off injury or somebody you hope was able to pitch for you at a higher level."
