2007 Paul Lo Duca and the Nationals agree to a $5 million, one-year deal that puts the former Mets catcher behind Washington's home plate.

2008 The Mets, reeling from their second consecutive season-ending collapse, continue overhauling their much-maligned bullpen, which blew 29 saves in 72 chances (40%).
