After agreeing to the structure of a three-year contract worth $14.4 million with Torrealba, the Mets suddenly changed their minds on November 17 and retracted the offer, seemingly because of Torrealba's sore shoulder, as the Mets only needed to see the results of his physical to officially complete the deal.https://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/18/sports/baseball/18mets.html?ex=1353042000&en=5262aabf994c0484&ei=5088 Torrealba Out of Mets' Picture The New York Times Shpigel Ben November 18, 2007 July 11, 2008 Lo Duca never appeared to be the first choice for the Mets, so they continued their search for a starter from another team rather than re-sign Lo Duca,http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/2007/11/17/2007-11-17_mets_deal_with_yorvit_torrealba_is_dead.html Mets' deal with Yorvit Torrealba is dead Daily News Rubin Adam November 17, 2007 July 11, 2008 who went on to sign with the Washington Nationals.

The Mets explored the possibility of signing David Eckstein to start at second base, but determined his contract demands were too lofty. On November 20, the Mets traded relief pitcher Guillermo Mota to the Milwaukee Brewers for catcher Johnny Estrada. This trade ended up just being a salary dump, as Estrada, who was arbitration-eligible, was not offered a new contract, therefore becoming a free agent.http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080129&content_id=2358547 https://web.archive.org/web/20110527150800/http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080129&content_id=2358547 dead May 27, 2011 Nationals to sign catcher Estrada MLB.com Ladson Bill January 29, 2008 July 11, 2008 The Mets wanted to be rid of Mota and his $3.2 million salary because he pitched to a 5.72 ERA in 2007 after being suspended for 50 games for steroid use.http://www.nypost.com/seven/11212007/sports/mets/mota_motive_134133.htm Mota Motive New York Post Puma Mike November 21, 2007 July 11, 2008 In response to the Mets' need for a starting catcher, General Manager Omar Minaya made his first significant trade of the offseason on December 1, acquiring catcher Brian Schneider and outfielder Ryan Church from the Nationals for outfielder Lastings Milledge.
