Hold off on pulling those Big Sexy T-shirts out of the back of your closet. At least two members of the Mets' front office were a little surprised to hear there were reports over the weekend that said they are interested in bringing back Bartolo Colon.

"You never know, things could change, but it's not something I see happening," one source said. "It's not a name I've been hearing."

Ervin Santana reportedly said his friend and former teammate Colon had drawn interest from the Mets, but two team sources said that Colon's name had not come up in recent weeks at all.

"I guess Bartolo is always an option, but not anyone has talked about (that) lately," another source said. "A starting pitcher isn't a priority right now."

Not that everyone wouldn't enjoy seeing Colon back at Citi Field. It was a good fit for awhile.

Colon has always made it clear he would love to come back to the Mets. In three seasons with the team, the 44-year-old was perhaps one of GM Sandy's Alderson's best free agent signings.

But the Mets and Colon parted ways after the 2016 season for a reason – and a good one: He was becoming less effective, winning against the bottom-feeders of MLB and struggling against the rest.

We'd love to see Colon end a 21-season career by going out as he wishes.

Colon needs six more wins to have 246 total career wins. That would be one more than Dennis Martinez, who is currently baseball's winningest Latin-American born pitcher.

Colon told Santana that is still his goal and after six wins he would be able to retire contentedly.

I think everyone in New Yrok would love to see the player who became beloved to Mets fans, but this Mets team needs a resurrection of its own pitchers more than a good human interest story this season.

The Mets need the starters they have on the roster already to stay healthy and productive. Could they use a veteran starter in the mix considering they have no idea what they will be getting from Steven Matz (coming back from elbow surgery) and Matt Harvey (Who struggled last season coming back from 2016 Thoracic Outlet Syndrome surgery)? In an ideal offseason, sure.

But considering their limited budget a veteran starter is way down on the priority list.

And we started to see last summer that Colon's age may finally be starting to catch up with him.

The right-hander made 28 starts for the Braves and Twins last year. He went 7-14 with a 6.48 ERA. Midway through the year, Colon was so frustrated with his production he openly contemplated retirement.

Colon was perfect for the Mets from 2014 to 2016.

Colon' laid-back personality and ability to let bad outings roll of his back were huge to the Mets young pitchers during his three-year Mets' tenure.

He was instrumental in helping Jeurys Familia figure out that short memory needed to be a closer. His ability to get hitters out with a fastball that did not light up the radar gun was a helpful reminder to the Mets' young, power-arms that you don't have to throw 100 miles per hour and strike out every batter to be successful.

Colon was also an effective Met on the field. He pitched three seasons and won 44 games for them, including 15 in 2016. He was a fan favorite and left the clubhouse with a great reputation among his former teammates.

It would be fun for everyone to have Colon back, but at this point in his career and with the Mets' needs, it is just not a good fit.
