TUESDAY: David Lennon adds that the Mets would only be willing to offer Turnbow a minor league deal. Meanwhile, Gordon Edes hasn’t heard anything about the Red Sox pursuing him.
MONDAY: According to John Delcos of The Journal News, the Mets are "discussing whether to sign Derrick Turnbow" (hat tip to MetsBlog). Turnbow seems like a reasonable gamble for the Mets. Most teams could stand to add relief depth.
Turnbow was designated on Friday; Ken Rosenthal recently suggested that four teams are interested. The Brewers would have to do something about his $3.2MM salary if they are to strike a deal.
The Brewers are having their own bullpen problems despite a pricey offseason makeover. Eric Gagne and David Riske, making a combined $14MM this year, have disappointed so far.
