NEW YORK -- Gary Sheffield's first career hit with the Mets came in dramatic fashion.



Down one run in the bottom of the seventh inning, Sheffield came in as a pinch-hitter and blasted the ninth pitch from Brewers reliever Mitch Stetter over the left-field fence to record his 500th career home run on Friday night.

The bank's statement came in response to a Wall Street Journal report Tuesday that Citigroup is exploring the possibility of backing out of the deal. The report quoted unidentified people as saying Citigroup has made no final decision on the matter.

NEW YORK -- Not long after the World Series ended, Oliver Perez and the Mets parted ways, each searching for something better. And not too long after their amicable divorce, the pitcher and club realized that they might find their way back to each other.

MLB whispers

Tony Paul / The Detroit News



The Mets, like so many of us, are stunned at right-hander Derek Lowe 's reported asking price -- five years, &#36;15 million per -- and have all but given up on signing the highly regarded starter they earlier this offseason had hoped to lock into their 2009 rotation. According to a report in the New York Daily News, rather than waltzing with the Red Sox and the Yankees in a sure-to-be-intense bidding war over Lowe, a 35-year-old  ...</description>

By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com



NEW YORK -- Perhaps Damion Easley shouldn't have even been there. Two pitches earlier on Friday, he had spun out of the way of a Taylor Buchholz curveball, loading pressure onto his sore left quadriceps and drawing manager Jerry Manuel's concern.



&quot;It kind of sent a little shockwave through me,&quot; Easley said.

NEW YORK -- Prior to the final Subway Series matchup at Yankee Stadium on Friday afternoon, Mets manager Jerry Manuel talked about his team's reliance on defense in recent games.



After the Mets lit up the Yankees for 15 runs in the first game of the split-stadium doubleheader, no one was talking about their defense.

			<description>FORMER MET ENJOYING GREEN-ER PASTURES



By MARK HALE



February 28, 2008 -- Shawn Green anticipated that it would happen. Now it's a done deal.



The right fielder, who played with the Mets for the last year and a half and spent parts of 15 seasons in the majors, told The Post yesterday that he has retired.



&quot;I had planned on retiring at the end of this contract,&quot; the 35-year-old Green said yesterday in a phone conversation. &quot;If something where I could live at home  ...</description>

By Bob Nightengale, USA TODAY

The New York Mets have agreed to a trade for two-time Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana, giving up four prospects to acquire the left-handed ace of the Minnesota Twins, according to two high-ranking Twins officials with knowledge of the talks and a person close to Santana.



The deal is pending the Mets and Santana reaching agreement on a six- or seven-year contract extension and that Santana passes a  ...</description>

Reliever latest right-hander added to spring bullpen mix

By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com



NEW YORK -- An already crowded bullpen just found its newest member.



The Mets on Wednesday claimed right-handed reliever Ruddy Lugo off waivers from the Athletics, adding him to a bullpen mix that was already primed to produce the team's fiercest roster competition in Spring Training.



Lugo, 27, finished 6-0 with a 5.40 ERA in time split between the A's and  ...</description>

NEW YORK -- The Mets completed a minor deal on Saturday when they reacquired outfielder Angel Pagan from the Cubs in exchange for two Minor League players. The trade imports a versatile, 26-year-old switch-hitting outfielder familiar to the organization who provides depth, big league experience and still has Minor League options.

Mets Trade Milledge To Nats For Schneider And Church



According to SNY via Metsblog as well as WFAN, the Mets have traded Lastings Milledge to the Nationals for Brian Schneider and Ryan Church.



Initial thought: sweet deal by Jim Bowden.  Milledge, who turns 23 in April, has star potential or at least will become an above average right fielder (though he should be tried in center unless he's terrible there).  The 31 year-old Schneider is strong  ...</description>

FOXSports.com, Updated 11 hours ago



The Mets, overcoming stiff competition, reached a preliminary agreement Sunday night on a $25 million, four-year contract with Luis Castillo.



The deal, the Mets' first major move of the off-season, will resolve the team's opening at second base at a time when they are unsettled at catcher and have now lost left-hander Tom Glavine to the Braves.

BY DAVID LENNON &amp; KEN DAVIDOFF

 4:05 PM EST, November 17, 2007 



The Mets' negotiations with Yorvit Torrealba collapsed on Saturday and the free-agent catcher will not be headed to Shea for next season after all.



The two sides already had agreed on a three-year contract worth $14.4-million and it appeared that the only remaining holdup to an official announcement was a physical. But a person familiar with the situation said Saturday that the Torrealba  ...</description>

			<description> POSADA GRABS THE METS’ EYE



By MARK HALE



October 31, 2007 -- One intriguing player - and current free agent - the Mets have targeted this offseason is Jorge Posada.



The Mets have interest in Posada, the longtime Yankee catcher who filed for free agency on Monday and who would fill a position of uncertainty for the club. Paul Lo Duca has filed for free agency as well. Though Lo Duca's agent, Andrew Mongelluzzi, said yesterday the Mets have an interest in re-signing him, he is no  ...</description>

			<description>The Mets undoubtedly will attempt to put together a package for Minnesota's Johan Santana. But that might not be so simple.



First, the Mets may not have the young prospects to put together an attractive offer, so start with Lastings Milledge and Philip Humber or Mike Pelfrey and start adding on from there. And Santana has said he will waive his no-trade clause if there is an attractive contract extension accompanying it. But the Mets have made it clear that they don't want to offer more  ...</description>
