The Mets have upgraded their offer to Rod Barajas to a major-league deal, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com.
The Mets and the Texas Rangers are bidding for the free-agent catcher, with the Rangers offer still standing at a minor-league deal.
The Mets, if they sign Barajas to a major-league deal, would have to designate a player for assignment off the 40-man roster.
