Julio Lugo is working out at the Mets camp in the Dominican Republic and could join the Mets as soon as he is released, according to Adam Rubin.
The Mets need to wait until he is officially released by the Boston Red Sox before signing him to some sort of contract. Rubin also notes that Tim Redding would likely be the player cut from the roster. The Mets seem willing to eat his $2.5 million contract.
I wrote yesterday that this would be a bad move, especially with Angel Berroa recently in the fold. How many middle infielders can the Mets really bring in?
