The Mets asked if they were free agent left-hander Johan Santana's top choice, but were told that it's too early in the process to know. At least seven teams are interested in Santana, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post. That number is probably coming from Santana's agent, Chris Leible, who said on Sunday that "seven or eight" teams had reached out to his client. Santana is coming off surgery to repair a re-tear of the capsule in his left shoulder. The veteran southpaw will surely have to settle for a one-year, incentive-laden deal.
