Steve Popper, who was punk’d by Paul Lo Duca last season, reports on The Bergan Record that the Mets are set to meet with Lo Duca’s agent, Andrew Mongelluzzi, at the GM meetings on Monday.

Lo Duca’s agent, however, doesn’t think anything will get done for awhile.

“We are open to finalizing a deal with the Mets,” Mongelluzzi said in an e-mail. “The Mets have repeatedly stated that they ‘want the player’ and discussions will continue. However, I don’t believe that the Mets are ready as they are considering all of their options.”

Jorge Posada and Yorvit Torrealba are two targets the Mets may be considering.
