Big Game Freddy signs with the Mets

There had been some speculation recently that the Sox were interested in bringing back Freddy Garcia to compete for a spot in their undermanned rotation, but those can be put to rest this morning; Freddy Garcia has agreed to a 1-year, incentive-laden minor league contract with the New York Mets.

Oh well. With Bartolo Colon and Jose Contreras, I think the Sox have already met their payroll limit for Injured, Aging Starting Pitchers. With Garcia officially gone, it's time to start crazy rumors about the next available free agent pitcher who could do some good for the Sox. Might I suggest Mark Mulder? A local guy that's struggled with injuries, he'd be cheap right? Coop will fix him.
