According to Andy Martino of the New York Daily News, the Mets are unlikely to pursue Athletics' left-hander Gio Gonzalez. Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reported last week that New York was in the mix for the southpaw, but one team official told Martino that talks never advanced past the preliminary phases. The Mets are in the process of restocking their farm system for a run when their young pitchers are ready for the big leagues, so it's unlikely they'll deal multiple prospects for a top starting pitcher. Gonzalez is drawing interest from several teams this offseason and talks could accelerate once the dust settles from the Yu Darvish situation.
