Where did the mets come from?

The Mets also have given indications that they'll pursue Lackey as a No. 2 starter behind Johan Santana, but they do not appear likely to venture into the neighborhood Lackey's camp reportedly has set as its target.
The Red Sox also have been mentioned as potential Lackey suitors along with the Mariners, but the level of interest of those clubs has not been clear.
'We've dialogued quite a bit,' Angels general manager Tony Reagins said, calling the conversations with Lackey's agent, Steve Hilliard, 'reasonable.' The GM added that he would not divulge any specific terms, a club policy.
Retaining Lackey, 31, for something in the five-year, $70 million range would free the Angels to focus their attention on the offense. Reagins said there are 'a lot of scenarios we can attack through free agency,' and the trade market also is being explored.
