          SEATTLE -- Citing a source close to Bartolo Colon, ESPNDeportes.com's Marly Rivera reports that the San Francisco Giants have expressed interest in acquiring the 41-year-old right-hander.

          Colon next is scheduled to pitch Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field.

          He is under contract for $9 million this season and $11 million in 2015.

          Sources have told ESPNNewYork.com that the Mets are receptive to trading Colon. The Mets are relatively deep at starting pitcher, with Daisuke Matsuzaka now assigned to the bullpen, Matt Harvey due to return from Tommy John surgery next season, Jeremy Hefner also nearing a return from that elbow procedure and prospects including Noah Syndergaard and Rafael Montero in Triple-A.
