The Mets are interested in Rockies catcher Ramon Hernandez, but New York officials aren't willing to offer significant prospects to complete a trade, the New York Post reported yesterday. The Mets have shown a willingness to take on most, but not all, of Hernandez's annual $3.2MM salary for 2012 and 2013 once the catcher comes off of the disabled list, Mike Puma of the Post reports today.

'We are not talking about acquiring Gary Carter in 1985 here,' one Mets person told Puma. 

The Rockies really like Mets minor leaguers Matt Den Dekker and Josh Edgin and they also have interest in prospects Wilfredo Tovar, Jacob deGrom and Domingo Tapia, Puma writes. The Rockies have suggested the Mets might want to expand discussions to include left-handed reliever Matt Reynolds, but the Mets aren't interested, according to Puma.

Joel Sherman noted yesterday that the Mets also have interest in Kelly Shoppach of the Red Sox and Miguel Olivo of the Mariners. For an expanded look at potentially available catchers click here.
