Two Cubans

[Benjamin Grimm]

Sources: Mets to work out 2 Cubans LOS ANGELES � Rusney Castillo never was considered seriously by the Mets, but the team has at least two other Cuban defectors on its radar. As The Post reported Friday before the Mets� 6-2 loss to the Dodgers, the Mets plan to work out Roberto Carlos, a 28-year-old shortstop. But according to a source, the workout at the team�s facility in the Dominican Republic on Wednesday will also include Pavel Quesada, a 25-year-old third baseman. Quesada, who has received interest from the Orioles and Rangers, among others, is a solid power threat according to a source who has seen him play, and could be a consideration for first base and outfield if he lands with the Mets. Carlos, a switch hitter, departed the U.S. last year after a stint playing independent baseball and settled in the Dominican Republic, hoping to gain more exposure. A source said Carlos previously �slipped through the baseball cracks� because he didn�t have representation after defecting from Cuba in 2012. Quesada is living in the Dominican Republic on visa and applying for residency.
