Pudge to mets?

In a post on twitter, Mike Puma of the NY Post reports as recently as 10 days ago the mets spoke to Pudge and have not ruled out signing him as a backup catcher but before they spend the roughly $2 million in their budget the mets want to make sure Johan is healthy in case they need to spend the $ on a starting pitcher. This is great news and I hope they can sign pudge. He plays hard, would be a good veteran presence & a good influence on Thole. Obviously he is at the end of his career but it would be a great move.
