On whether it will be tough pitching for the Mets in 2013 without a contract extension: "I think time will tell. I anticipate it will be a tough situation."

Randos: "Lucas Duda's got a pretty good knuckleball." During the interview, his youngest son was "running around at [his] feet, eating Teddy Grahams. That's the life of a Cy Young winner."
