Mike Timlin Stays In Boston? Erik Bedard To Mets?

The Boston Globe has a report that an unnamed Red Sox official revealed Mike Timlin has been re-signed for a one-year $3 mil deal. While Timlin continued to have a steady 2007, he turns 42 in March and the deal is a very good one for him.

The NY Daily News has also implied that the Mets might have traded for Ryan Church to acquire Erik Bedard, with the Orioles indicating that Church in place of Milledge then would have been a more attractive offer.

In another interesting tidbit in the same report, Yorvit Torrealba will be pursuing an action against the Mets for the breaking down of their deal after his physical. Torrealba ended up re-signing with the Rockies after the failed move.
