Beimel considering Mets offer, Lopez clears waivers

Joe Beimel, one of the left-handed relievers left on the market, is considering an offer from the New York Mets, according to the Denver Post.

“We've been talking to them for a good part of the offseason. I am still just being patient, waiting for the right deal,” Beimel told the Denver Post.

…which surprised me.  It’s not as if Beimel is waiting for a multi-million dollar deal or anything.  Just a lefty reliever going somewhere on a one-year deal, or so.  Surprised it’s taken so long for him to find a fit.

Also, in case you were really worried, Arturo Lopez cleared waivers and returned to camp as a non-roster invitee.

Whew!
