According to FOXSports.com, the Mets aren't pursuing Rich Harden.
The Mets are considering a list of secondary pitchers in the event that they are unsuccessful to sign John Lackey -- Joel Pineiro, Randy Wolf, Jason Marquis and even Ben Sheets -- however Harden isn't one of them, according to a source. The 27-year-old right-hander was 9-9 with a 4.09 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 2009, posting a 10.91 K/9 in 141 innings, however the Mets may be a bit gun-shy given his injury-history.
