Mets Meeting With Agent Scott Boras Tonight

According to a tweet from Joel Sherman of the NY Post, Mets general manager Omar Minaya is meeting with Scott Boras tonight.

I would assume this is simply just one of thirty such “meet and eats” Boras will be having this month as most teams attempt to get a handle on what they might expect this offseason, as well as letting Boras know which of his many clients they may have interest in.

Here are some of the key players who are among the many Scott Boras clients that are free agents this offseason:

Matt Holliday
Johnny Damon
Rick Ankiel
Ivan Rodriguez
Jason Varitek
Alex Cora
Adrian Beltre
Garret Anderson
Xavier Nady
Andruw Jones
Jarrod Washburn
Eric Gagne
Scott Schoeneweis

Don’t expect any offers to be exchanged tonight as some may suggest. This is just a first step into opening up a dialogue between Boras and the Mets. In other words, the Mets just want Boras to know they received his party invitation and that they will gladly attend.
