I can't see how the Mets don't sign him immediately
Brodie's biggest miss this offseason

He gets a Mulligan here, although it will probably cost more now than it would have 2 months ago.

many as 7 teams are interested. It's not as simple as the Mets having interest. Brewers are seen as the favorites.

Maybe, but probably not. Gonzales certainly had offers on the table for Major leauge deals. He took the minor leauge deal with the opt out instead so he could get back into a market when offers would improve.
What is kind of ironic

was that the Yanks signed him as insurance to their pitching staff yet it is the positional players that have all fallen to the injury bug.

And German has been very good as a depth starter, too.

And Cessa was awesome during the spring but he is our long relief. I would have liked to see him get another crack at a starting spot but we cannot complain about German so far.

Actually according to Michael Kay, he didn't. The Yankees were the only team to offer him a deal, and a minor league deal at best.
Gio fired Boras on Friday

and i'm sure wasn't happy that a minor league deal with the Yankees was the only offer he received.
