Mets Extend Offer To Ollie - Sheets New Medical Records

John Heyman of SI.com, reports on two fronts Met fans are interested in.

First, the Mets are believed to have increased their original offer of 3 yrs and $30M to Oliver Perez. Not much is known about the details of the new offer, however I find it curious as to the timing. The word on the street this afternoon was the Mets are now willing to go to four years for Ollie's services.

Just say no!

However, Ben Sheets just became more marketable.

Secondly, Heyman reports on Ben Sheets. Teams interested in free agent right-hander Ben Sheets have a new medical report to examine, according to MLB executives, and it is this new information that may have sparked some renewed interest in the talented pitcher.

Sheets has made available to several baseball executives updated medical information. You can bet all teams vying for his services are doing their due diligence, while combing through his reports with their medical staffs.
