New home for Pineiro

Joe Pineiro ('98) had a nice season last year for St. Louis. He is now a free agent. Could he be headed to the New York Mets?

Sports Illustrated is reporting that the team has "debated" making Pineiro an offer of two years. Rumor has it that Pineiro wants something more like what Randy Wolf(notes) got from the Milwaukee Brewers: three years and $29.75 million.

Pineiro is coming off his best season in many years, posting a record of 15-12 and 105 strikeouts for the St. Louis Cardinals. Wolf went 11-7 last year with 160 strikeouts for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
