Jeff Wilpon Talks Mets Offseason

[Johnnydollaz89]

Jeff Wilpon was among representatives from the Mets who were pitching in at a Garfield, NJ school for a service day a year after Superstorm Sandy and spoke about the team’s offseason outlook:

• Wilpon said that the Mets are not handcuffed in any way in terms of payroll (Kerwick)
• Named David Wright, Zack Wheeler, Dillon Gee and Jon Niese as the only players locked into their positions for 2014 (Ackert)
• Team have expressed interest into trading for a first baseman from the Mets (Carig)
• He is not worried about Matt Harvey rushing back from surgery (Kerwick)
• The team did not make an offer on Jose Abreu (Kerwick), but said if he was a corner outfielder instead of a first baseman, it may have changed things (Carig) — Abreu signed a six-year, $68 million contract with the Chicago White Sox
• Official radio announcement (reportedly with WOR) will come “any day” (Diamond)

Sense a trade with guys like Muphy, Ike, Parnell Duda and maybe even Flores. Sounds like nobody outside of the 4 above are set for the roster.
