Kevin Kernan from the Post talks to Gary Sheffiield who discusses that he will play next year and for who. He said that he would consider the Mets, along with the Astros, Marlins, Rangers, or even the Rays.

While the Mets do need a hitter with some power like Sheff, they also need to get younger and avoid players that are prone to injury.
Mike Puma talked to Jeff Francoeur who say's that friend Jason Marquis would like to pitch for the Mets next season. Marquis is from Staten Island and is having a very nice year in the last of a 3-year $21 contract.

I would add Marquis because he is dependable, innings eater, and pretty good with the bat(5 career HR's). But only depending on the rest of the off-season, I would add him if we can get another starter like Bedard or Wolf. Or if the Mets go out and get a big bat like Holliday or Bay. He is a nice pitcher but he shouldn't be the best pitcher that we sign.
Ken Davidoff talks about who the Mets should avoid signing this offseason including Jason Marquis.

I think that he is right about Hudson because we don't have enough money to pay 2 second basemen, plus Castillo played well this year besides one night in Yankee Stadium. I disagree with him about Wolf and Marquis, they both could help this team next year. I'm not adovacating signing either them to a multi-year deal or signing both of them, I'm just saying that every successful team needs an innings eater.
