Jon Heyman of SI.com reports that free agent Jorge Posada has reached out to the Mets. The Mets are looking for looking for a defensive-minded backup to Josh Thole, so a match appears unlikely. However, it at least shows that Posada is interested in continuing his playing career. The 40-year-old batted just .235/.315/.398 with 14 home runs, 44 RBI and a .714 OPS over 387 plate appearances this season. He isn't expected to return to the Yankees, but recently told reporters that he has drawn interest from teams as a backup catcher or part-time designated hitter.

Jorge Posada is resigned to the fact that he will not be re-upping with the Yankees this winter. The Yanks have no interest in bringing back the 40-year-old free agent, who batted just .235/.315/.398 this past season in New York. Posada told reporters that he's already drawn interest from several other teams and is looking for a gig as a backup catcher or part-time designated hitter.

The Yankees have expressed little interest in re-signing free agent Jorge Posada. Posada's four-year, $52.4 million contract expires after this season, where he posted a career worst .235/.315/.398 with 14 home runs. The 40-year old switch-hitter was the Yankees best offensive player in the postseason, however, collecting six hits and four walks in all five games (.429/.570/571). After being used almost exclusively at DH, he'll enter a free agent market that's flooded with one-dimensional DH types.

Jorge Posada will serve as the designated hitter for Game 5 of the ALDS against the Tigers on Thursday night. No big changes here, as the Yankees are going with the same lineup as the first four games of the series. Posada was the only member of the starting lineup without a hit in Tuesday's 10-1 win, but he is 4-for-10 with a triple, four walks and four runs scored during the series.

Jorge Posada went 2-for-3 in a losing effort in Game Two of the ALDS on Sunday. One of Posada's hits was his first triple of the year. He's 3-for-6 with two runs scored in the Yankees' first two ALDS contests.

Jorge Posada will serve as the designated hitter in Game 1 of the ALDS against the Tigers on Friday night. He'll bat seventh against Justin Verlander. The Tigers won't throw any left-handed starters, so we don't figure to see a lot of Jesus Montero at designated hitter, aside from late-game pinch-hit appearances.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Thursday that Jorge Posada will the primary designated hitter against the Tigers' right-handed starters during the ALDS. As expected. Posada finished the season with a disappointing .235/.315/.398 batting line, but he had 14 homers and an .814 OPS against right-handed pitching. There's little doubt that he can still be a weapon. The Tigers don't have any left-handed starters, so we will likely only see Jesus Montero late in games.

Jorge Posada smacked a pinch-hit, two-run single in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rays. His hit turned out to be the game-winner, handing the Yankees another AL East title. This hass been one of the most difficult seasons for the 40-year-old Posada. But after ending May with a .623 OPS, he has climbed up to a more respectable .717 mark.

Jorge Posada made his season debut behind the plate Saturday after Russell Martin left the game for the Yankees. Posada went 1-for-2 in the contest. The free-agent-to-be hopes to go back to catching on at least a part-time basis next year, probably for another team.

Jorge Posada is not in the Yankees' starting lineup Thursday afternoon against the Orioles. Alex Rodriguez will serve as the designated hitter against the right-hander Alfredo Simon while Eric Chavez makes the start at third base. MLB will likely push to get this game in, but the forecast for the Baltimore area isn't very promising.
