Mets Nightmare Off Season Continues, Molina Signs With Giants

So anybody know of a guy who can play catcher please contact the Mets.

In what has been a nightmare off-season for the New York Mets, just got a whole lot worse, when their number one target for catcher, Bengi Molina re-signed with the San Francisco Giants to a one year deal worth $4.5 million.

The Mets had initially offered Molina a two year deal worth over $5 million, but the catcher rejected wanting a third year. He lowered his price tag to two years, but that was not enough for him to agree to come to the Metroplitans, instead opting to stay in San Fran.

Now the Mets not only have a gapping hole at first base, center field, and 4/5 of the starting rotation, they now have a gapping hole at catcher, a position of need. The Mets will have to rely on Omir Santos and Josh Thole to battle it out in Spring Training, or hope that veteran's signings like Chris Coste and Henri Blanco pan out.

In short 2010 is starting to sound and look like another year to forget for the Mets.
