Mets Talking To John Smoltz About Starting Role

The sense I get is that the Mets are very likely to add one more starting pitcher. They've been in active dialogue with John Smoltz about a starting role, although it's hard to handicap whether it's Smoltz, Ben Sheets or Jon Garland they ultimately sign. Basically, the issue with Sheets is how much of a guaranteed salary the Mets are willing to offer versus other teams.
