Closer

Mets apparently interested in Texas closer Otsuka, but Rangers may be demanding too much.

I would love to dump Wagner, I have zero confidence in him in a big spot. That said, we shouldn't dump him at any cost - he's clearly more than good enough during the regular season where one blown save here or there won't kill you. It's not worth what Rangers want at this point.

This could be the deal of the year: The Rangers and Gagne reached a preliminary agreement last week on a contract worth about $6 million that would give the right-hander a chance to earn about $5 million in performance bonuses.

I can't believe the Mets weren't interested in taking a $6 M gamble on Gagne. WELL worth the risk.
