Rod Barajas - C - Toronto Blue Jays
Feb. 9, 2010 - 9:40 PM ET
Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that two teams that have interest in free agent catcher Rod Barajas -- the Mets and Rangers -- are experiencing complications in their pursuit of the veteran.
Morosi writes that the Mets are out of money and the Rangers may be unable to increase payroll while in ownership transition. The 34-year-old Barajas smacked 19 homers last season. He should be cheap enough if either team can open up a nominal amount of money.
