Fuentes' Price High, Omar's Other Interests

-The NY Daily News reports that Mets GM Omar Minaya finds the 10-11 million per year price tag on Brian Fuentes "a bit high." Right now they'd be content to sign either Fuentes or Francisco Rodriguez as their closer. Which one would you prefer? "Right now we're talking with the agents," Minaya said. "But we are getting a pretty good idea as far as what terms they're looking for. Once we get an idea of the terms they're looking for, we have a better idea what we think it's going to take to get these guys done, understanding that markets do change, and they fluctuate."
Minaya also said he is interested in Raul Ibanez and will contact Oliver Perez's agent at the Winter Meetings.
