According to Andrew Marchand of ESPN 1050, citing an executive with knowledge of the team’s thinking, the Mets plan to pursue free-agent RHPFrancisco Rodriguez, but are ‘unlikely’ to bid on CC Sabathia.

…this could not have timed out any better for this kid…not only is he the best free-agent closer on the market, and one of the best pitchers in the game, but, at the same time, one of the wealthiest teams in the league, the Mets, who need to overhaul their bullpen, just happen to also need a closer…so, if these two are not at least linked in rumors this off-season, something is very, very wrong with the Hot Stove…

Mets to pursue K-Rod

I can see why they're hesitant about the five-year deal, especially at that price. He is a great closer but he got pretty cold for a period of time last year. I would love it if we got him, though.

5 years is a bit much, than again two second place finishes in the division and a team has to roll the die

That is true. And we do need a few bullpen pitchers, so it's not like we're getting something that we don't even need.
