Well, the Nats just signed Ollie Perez as a free agent.
When I first saw it,I thought it said "Mets sign Ollie".
The EMTs were able to revive me, and I feel ok now.

John Ricco on Mets Hot Stove tonight said that the Mets would be very reluctant to sign someone who would cost them a draft pick.

That sounds like it pretty much rules out Dexter Fowler. (And Jayson Heyward too, of course, but we all pretty much knew that wasn't happening anyway.)
