Mets, Yorvit talks break down

The Mets' negotiations with Yorvit Torrealba collapsed on Saturday and the free-agent catcher will not be headed to Shea for next season after all.

The two sides already had agreed on a three-year contract worth $14.4-million and it appeared that the only remaining holdup to an official announcement was a physical. But a person familiar with the situation said Saturday that the Torrealba deal was dead and the team confirmed it.

"The Mets did not reach an agreement with Yorvit Torrealba," Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz said, "and there are no current negotiations."

When reached on Saturday, Torrealba's agent, Melvin Roman, would not give a reason and his only response was "no comment."

I must be tired or something. The first time I read that it said:

"But a person familiar with the situation said Saturday that Torrealba was dead and the team confirmed it."

Either way Yorvit isn't a Met next year...
