Now that the World Series has ended the serious business can start. And it is starting.

The Mets have signed Fernando Tatis to a one year deal. It's a good thing in my opinion.

Mets sign Fernando Tatis to a one-year contract

Tatis, 33, who hit .297 with 16 doubles, one triple, 11 home runs and 47 RBI for the Mets separated his right shoulder diving for a double by Nationals' pitcher Odalis Perez in the fifth inning on September 16th at Washington. Fernando underwent an MRI the next day and the test revealed a Grade 3 shoulder separation.

Three Mets (Oliver Perez, Damion Easley and Matt Wise) have filed for free agency. We all knew that Perez would be going for the pot of gold. Whether or not the Mets should try to sign him will be a point of argument among Mets fans this winter. People either seem to love Ollie or hate him.

It seems like everybody on the other post agreed the mets need to improve their corner outfeilding positions, as church will not risk his career to rush a return to a pesky head injury and alou can't stay healthy (btw, alou just pulled his hammy diving for a ball in his AA binghampton rehap start, eraasing any chance he will be back before the break, even though he was scheduled to be back by Friday. point proven). i for one am not comfortable rotating endy chavez, marlon anderson, fernando tatis and whatever too-young minor league callup we can find for the remainder of the season, and would like to make a move to bolster our options at the corner outfeild position. so everybody put on your omar minaya thinking caps and try to come up with some possible acquisitions!
