By Allan

12/31 12:12pm PST:  According to the New York Daily News, the reports of Molina nearing a two-year deal with the Mets is “not true.”.  The Mets want Molina for a one year and a vesting option, but Molina wants a three-year deal.

12/30 08:10am PST: According to Rich Coutinho of 1050 ESPN Radio (via Metsblog.com), the Mets are close to signing free-agent catcher Bengie Molina.

12/29 11:56am PST: Mike Francesca of WFAN, reports that the New York Mets and free agent catcher Bengie Molina remain apart on a potential contract.  The recent offer from the Mets is a one year contract plus a vesting option for Molina.  Molina has been holding out for a three-year contract.

It was previously rumored that the Mets have offered Molina a two-year deal worth $12 million.  Many believe that Molina should not expect a 3-year contract at the age of 35.  On the other hand, the Mets may not be able to find a better catcher available via free agency or trade.
