Mets meet with Barry Zito's agent, Scott Boras at Winter Meetings to begin lengthy, fruitless contract talks.

Mets express interest in Jason Jennings who was just denied arbitration by the Astros.

Tom Glavine decides to return to the Mets for one year, or decided not to go back to the Braves for one year, whatever floats your boat.

Week prior, Mets come in second place in bidding for Japanese pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka who signs with the Red Sox and goes on to win the World Series with the team.

Ambiorix Burgos said to be acquired by the Royals in exchange for Brian Bannister. Bannister finished 3rd in AL Rookie Of The Year voting, and did you know he practiced Wicca?  Keith Hernandez would go on to say Burgos' name sounds like a disease, and soon after Burgos became injured.

Did I miss anything? I just hope this winter is more productive.

Lenny Dysktra has partnered up with Doubledown Media to create The Players Club, which is a magazine by and for professional athletes.

The magazine will be focused on providing athletes with the resources to make well-informed financial and lifestyle decisions.

The Players Club will debut in April of 2008, to coincide with the opening of Major League Baseball.

If only such a magazine existed during Nails' steroid/tobacco usage.
