The New York Mets are setting their sights on free agent shortstop Rafael Furcal.
Furcal, 36, missed the 2013 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery but is high on Mets general manager Sandy Alderson’s wish list reports the Newark Star Ledger.
The Mets are ready to move on past Ruben Tejada and appear ready to make a move that will ensure that he is not the teams starter come Opening Day.
