Andy Martino of the New York Daily News reports that the Mets aren't expected to sign Jose Valverde before the start of the season.
Martino notes that the Mets could eventually sign Valverde if the reliever doesn't catch on elsewhere during spring training, but that's unlikely to happen. Valverde seems unlikely to net a closer job wherever he lands, so his fantasy appeal figures to be pretty limited in 2013.
