At Rotoworld they write about the Mets and them backing off of Colon:
ESPN's Buster Olney says he heard free agent Bartolo Colon was on the verge of signing with the Mets last week, but the team backed off after taking a closer look at the condition of his right arm.
With White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen in attendence, Colon allowed three runs and six hits in five innings in his postseason start in the Dominican Winter League on Thursday. He struck out two and walked none.
At MLB Trade Rumors they wrote about Bartolo Colon missing two starts in the Dominican Winter League:
A friend in the Dominican Republic notes that Bartolo Colon has missed his last two starts. Maybe he's done showcasing and now awaits an offer; I'm not sure at this point. Word a few days ago was that Colon had yet to crack 90 mph.
Colon won the Cy Young in 2005, when he went 21-8 with the Los Angeles Angels and pitched more than 200 innings for the eighth time in nine years. He worked during that season with personal trainer Nao Presinal, whose involvement with an equipment bag full of steroids and syringes seized by Canadian customs agents in 2001 is detailed in the Mitchell report. Best bet: the New York Mets. General manager Omar Minaya took a bigger gamble in 2002, when, as Montreal GM, he obtained Colon from Cleveland. 
Gerry Fraley at The Sporting Newswrites about Bartolo Colon and where he will likely end up next season:
Colon emerged from that season with a partially torn rotator cuff and has not been the same since, pitching only 155-2/3 innings in the last two seasons. Colon's performance with Aguilas of the Dominican Republic winter league will help determine what kind of deal he gets.
