Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports that Chad Qualls “has been on Boston’s radar all offseason.”
Qualls was also linked to the Mets earlier this offseason, but they’re probably no longer an option after having already added three relievers. Qualls saw his K/9 rate bottom out at 5.2 last season, and he wasn’t very good away from PETCO Park (5.05 ERA). But, with a career 3.78 ERA and 1.27 WHIP, he should have no trouble finding a new home.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that the Mets are interested in free agent reliever Chad Qualls.
Jon Heyman of SI.com reported previously that there were two “mystery teams” interested in Qualls, so perhaps the Mets are one of those teams. The 33-year-old right-hander posted a 3.51 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 43/20 K/BB ratio over 74 1/3 innings this past season. The drop in strikeout rate is concerning, and Qualls was much better in Petco Park than on the road, but he wouldn’t be a bad addition on a reasonable deal.

Jon Heyman of SI.com hears that there are two “mystery teams” interested in free agent Chad Qualls.
It’s hard to tell whether Heyman is joking, but we’d imagine Qualls is drawing interest from multiple clubs. The 33-year-old right-hander posted a 3.51 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 43/20 K/BB ratio over 74 1/3 innings this season, though he enjoyed most of his success within the comfy confines of PETCO Park. The Padres declined his $6 million option for 2012 in October.
