Mets plan to meet with Curtis Granderson
Teams are lining up to talk with Curtis Granderson now that he’s declined his qualifying offer from the New York Yankees. The first team planning to meet with Granderson’s agent is the New York Mets but they’re unsure if they’ll get the chance, this week. It should basically come down to whether or not his people show up on the General manager meetings this week.
Mets have plans to meet with Curtis Granderson's agent this week, I am told.

Ammending earlier tweet to say Mets plan to "speak" to Granderson's agent. They are not sure if he will be present in Orlando to "meet."

It’s unlikely Granderson signs with the Yankees as it doesn’t look like the team is willing to give him the multi-year deal he’ll be looking for and should receive. Numerous teams have shown interest but the Mets are a logical choice as there were reports earlier that Grandy doesn’t want to leave the New York area.
I expect a team like the Mets or one of the Chicago teams to be the team who signs Granderson as they wouldn’t have to forfeit their first round draft pick for him.
