Mets want Mulder

Bryan Hoch at Mets.com, writes about the Mets interest in Mark Mulder:

The Mets have moved forward with another one of pitching coach Rick Peterson's former pupils, left-hander Mark Mulder.

Mulder's agent, Gregg Clifton, met with team officials on Tuesday at the Winter Meetings, and while interest on both sides was described by Clifton as "very preliminary," it was mutual.

"We just had a nice meeting with the Mets where they expressed some interest, and obviously we expressed some interest back to them," Clifton said. "From Mark's perspective, there's the chance to join back with Rick Peterson."

Clifton also represents the Mets' Tom Glavine and said that the veteran left-hander has reached out to Mulder in an attempt to bring him to New York.
