"Heading into the holiday weekend, all remains quiet for the Mets.

A team official indicated Wednesday that the club remained in exploratory mode, and is not close on any signings or trades. The team is not likely to generate news on Thanksgiving, or in the days that follow.

The main storyline of the winter is, of course, the pursuit of Jose Reyes, and the shortstop's free agency has been quiet since last week's GM meetings, when news surfaced of an offer made by the Miami Marlins."
