Now that Rafael Soriano is with the Nationals, Kyle Farnsworth has received quite a bit of interest from teams seeking bullpen help, and he has reportedly narrowed his list down from six to three teams. The Rays, Tigers, Mariners, Blue Jays, Tigers, Mets, and other clubs are still looking for bullpen help. Farnsworth spent the 2012 season with the Rays, posting a 4.00 ERA in 27 relief innings of work. He was originally slated to be the team's closer, but injury issues allowed Fernando Rodney to slide into that role and have the best season of his career.
I'll keep this short and sweet: I don't want to see Farnsworth in a Mets uniform. The guy has head a train-wreck of a career, and will not be able to withstand a full season at the age of 36. He relies on his deadly sinker to generate ground ball outs, and to me he would just be a Frank Francisco 2.0. He is not going to be worth the money that he will eventually get, and I hope that the Mets don't get desperate and snatch him up.
