Accoridng to LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the Twins are interested in Chris Capuano. Capuano posted a decent 4.55 ERA and 168/53 K/BB ratio over 186 innings this past season for the Mets. He's hoping to land a two-year free agent deal and might not sign until later this winter in order to find it. The 33-year-old left-hander would likely fare well in the cavernous confines of Minnesota's Target Field.

According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, Chris Capuano is seeking a two-year contract this winter. Capuano proved to be a real bargain for the Mets this season, posting a 4.55 ERA and 168/53 K/BB ratio over 186 innings. The 33-year-old southpaw fared far better at home (3.82 ERA) than on the road (5.42 ERA), but he should be able to find the multi-year contract he desires in a weak market for starting pitchers. As for the Mets, they will be on the search for the next Capuano.

Chris Capuano gave up three runs and five hits in six innings Tuesday in a no-decision against the Reds. He struck out nine and walked two. Capuano, 33, ends 2011 with an 11-12 record, 4.55 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. The free-agent-to-be won't have mixed league value wherever he ends up next year.

Chris Capuano gave up four runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings Thursday in a no-decision against the Cardinals. It doesn't look like the Red Sox missed out on much by not getting Capuano for their weekend series. He surrendered homers to Allen Craig and Albert Pujols in this one.

Joe McDonald of ESPNBoston.com was told by a league source that talks between the Red Sox and Mets regarding left-hander Chris Capuano are "dead." John Tomase of the Boston Herald reported earlier in the day that the Red Sox made a play for Capuano this week in hopes of having him pitch Sunday against the Yankees. However, the two sides were unable to come to a satisfactory agreement, so Capuano will finish the season as a member of the Mets.

According to John Tomase of the Boston Herald, the Red Sox have tried for the "better part of a week" to acquire Mets' left-hander Chris Capuano to start Sunday against the Yankees. Very interesting. Capuano would not be eligible for the postseason roster, but the Red Sox hope he'd be able to help their troubled starting rotation over the final week of the season. While the Red Sox are offering cash in exchange for the left-hander, it seems the Mets are inclined to keep him. Capuano, 33, has a 4.47 ERA and 155/50 K/BB ratio over 175 1/3 innings this season.

Chris Capuano allowed two runs over five-plus innings in a win over the Braves on Friday night. Capuano was pulled after the first two batters reached to begin the sixth inning.

He'll carry a 4.47 ERA into a start against the Cardinals next week.

Chris Capuano allowed six runs on eight hits in just four innings on Monday, falling to 10-12 in New York's 9-3 loss to the Marlins.

Now the owner of a 4.63 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 143/47 K/BB ratio through 163 1/3 innings, Capuano will get the Cubs at home this weekend.

Coming off a two-hitter of the Braves, Chris Capuano wasn't nearly as dominant on Wednesday against the Marlins, taking a no-decision as he allowed two runs on seven hits in five innings of a 3-2 Mets victory. He struck out four, walked two and needed 99 pitches to record his 15 outs. Tonight was the second time in three starts Capuano wasn't able to complete six innings of work. Now the owner of a 4.41 ERA and 1.33 WHIP, he'll get the Marlins again on Monday.

Chris Capuano had the start of a lifetime on Friday, striking out a career-high 13 in a two-hit shutout of the Braves in New York. The outing was one of the best by any pitcher in baseball this season. Capuano needed 122 pitches to complete the fourth game of his career, and first since 2006. The double-digit strikeout effort was just his third in 150 career starts. Now 10-11 with a 4.43 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 136/44 K/BB ratio through 154 1/3 innings, Capuano will get the Marlins at home his next time out.
