Torrealba will not be Marlin

Which is more than likely true, however, I have learned in life to write nothing in stone until it happens.  But this is looking very good.

According to his agent:

The Marlins' hopes of landing Yorvit Torrealba were dashed as the Rockies free agent is making the most of a soft catching market. Torrealba is set to cash in today, just not with the Marlins.

Agent Melvin Roman confirmed Wednesday night Torrealba eliminated the Marlins from consideration as other teams stepped up their offers. The Marlins are believed to have put a two-year deal for about $7 million on the table. The Mets reportedly made Torrealba their prime target and are believed to have guaranteed four years.

Woo Hoo!

One really bad idea averted with two more to go.  Now if we can just get the Barrett and Maroth ideas to go away, we will be set.

Ready everyone?
-Collective sigh-
Free-agent catcher Yorvit Torrealba will agree to a three-year contract with the New York Mets on Thursday, according to Torrealba's agent, Melvin Roman.

Roman told 1050 ESPN New York that he expects to formalize the agreement with the Mets this afternoon. Roman declined to reveal how much the contract would be worth. GM Omar Minaya did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

If Torrealba passes a physical, an announcement is expected in the next day or two. Newsday reported on its website that the contract will be worth $14.4 million over three years.

I will sleep much better tonight.
