Two tidbits: Raul Ibanez and Pedro Martinez
The 'Ropolitans | NY Mets Baseball Blog —
Two little nuggets to much on as you process the Mets deal with Francisco Rodriguez. The Mets brass in Las Vegas apparently dined with Raul Ibanez's agent at the Bellagio, reports Ken Rosenthal.

Omar Minaya has been after him since July, so now that he's a free agent and within his grasp, I think if Omar can get a grasp on him, he'll snag him for his ...
