According to Danielle Sessa of Bloomberg.com, Mets COO Jeff Wilpon said he hasn’t prevented the Mets from pursuing Manny Ramirez. Wilpon said Omar Minaya hasn’t proposed the idea:
"I don’t have the opporunity to say no because Omar hasn’t brought it to me as an option. Omar and the baseball staff aren’t interested."
Wilpon added that Minaya has "total flexibility" to pursue free agent starters.
