Sosa Quest In Full Swing

Quote:
 
The Mets' pursuit of Sammy Sosa intensified yesterday when the club's decision-makers huddled for more than four hours to talk about their offseason strategy, including the pros and cons of acquiring the Cubs' disgruntled slugger.

New general manager Omar Minaya has spearheaded the effort to bring Sosa to Shea Stadium, but not everyone is on board. The red flags are impossible to ignore: a hefty financial risk for a 36-year-old player apparently in decline.

With the Sosa debate unsettled, the Mets did make some progress on the pitching front, announcing they have declined Al Leiter's $10-million option for next season, making him a free agent. Leiter's representatives, Randy and Alan Hendricks, maintain they will continue talking with the Mets, but the club's reluctance to get a deal done could signal that Leiter won't be back.

The Mets seem more intent on re-signing free agent Kris Benson, and a baseball official said yesterday that a deal could be completed by the end of this week. Benson is looking for slightly more than the three- year, $21-million offer currently on the table.
