According to CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman, one competing baseball executive views Andres Torres as a fifth outfielder.
The Mets are looking for insurance for Torres, who is coming off a season that saw him hit just .221/.312/.330 with four home runs and 19 RBI. Remaining free-agent options include Rick Ankiel, Kosuke Fukudome, and Raul Ibanez, all of which have been linked to New York this offseason.
