Mets expect slower pace to offseason compared with last winter
BOCA RATON, Fla. -- The New York Mets acted swiftly last offseason, signing Michael Cuddyer to a two-year, $21 million deal at the GM Meetings because the outfielder had a tight deadline to make a decision on a qualifying offer from the Colorado Rockies.
