Fred Lewis intends to become a free agent after being removed from the Mets' 40-man roster.
Lewis had yet to file the formal paperwork, but his agent has indicated to the Mets he intends to become a free agent.
Lewis, 31, went 3-for-20 with four walks with the Mets after a September call-up. He was rewarded with the promotion after hitting .294 with 13 homers, 45 RBIs and 25 steals in 419 at-bats with Triple-A Buffalo.
Over seven seasons, Lewis also has played for the San Francisco Giants, Toronto Blue Jays and Cincinnati Reds.

TV still unresolved for #Mets-#Braves suspended game, but sounded like there was some optimism of game appearing somewhere.

So, unlike the original announcement, you cannot automatically exchange for any future game of comparable price (subject to availability).

Exchange #Mets Friday ticket--free or comp--for game tonight or tomorrow. I'm told they'll be 'accomodating' if extentuating circumstance.

No pressure, Sandy. Mets' biggest payroll commitments are David Wright ($20M) and Jon Niese ($5M). Plenty of room to spend.
