Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports that Tim Byrdak (shoulder) is now fully healthy and looking for a team to head to spring training with.

The 40-year-old southpaw missed most of the 2013 campaign while recovering from shoulder capsule surgery, but is now 100% and believes that he can help a Major League bullpen. He'll likely have to settle for a minor league deal with a spring training invite to prove himself, but could be a nice low-risk flyer for teams looking to bolster their bullpen.

Tim Byrdak intends to pitch in 2014.

Byrdak was working his way back from shoulder capsule surgery for most of 2013, but he managed to make it back to the Mets in September and plans to return for his age-40 season next year. "As far as competitiveness goes, Tim's up there with anyone," said Byrdak's agent, Mike Mosa. "He'll take the ball for you every day if you ask him to." The veteran southpaw may ultimately have to settle for a minor league deal, but he should compete for a bullpen spot somewhere in the spring.

According to Tim Dirkes of MLB Trade Rumors, a pair of teams have asked for the medical records of free agent left-hander Tim Byrdak.

The 40-year-old southpaw spent the majority of the 2013 season working his way back from offseason shoulder surgery, and only logged 4 2/3 innings at the big league level with the Mets in September. If healthy, he's proven in the past to be an effective situational lefty, and should be able to compete for a bullpen spot wherever he signs.

Mets selected the contract of LHP Tim Byrdak from Triple-A Las Vegas.

It took longer than expected for the 39-year-old lefty to work his way back from last September's shoulder surgery. He looked strong during his minor league rehab stint, posting a 1.27 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 24/13 K/BB ratio over 21 1/3 innings across three minor league levels. He'll function primarily in a situational role for the Mets.
