Buzz: Nats Target Gomez, Pelfrey
Bill Ladson of MLB.com quotes a baseball source that says the Nationals have targeted Mets OF Carlos Gomez and RHP Mike Pelfrey this off-season.
The source, as quoted by Ladson…
“We want to get younger (with a player like Gomez).”
Ladson speculates that the Mets may have interest in RHP Chad Cordero to fill a need in the bullpen.
…presumably, omar is gauging the market in an effort to best utilize the chips that he currently has…nothing wrong with that…as with the trading deadline earlier this summer, Cordero and Jon Rauch are players worth keeping an eye on in the coming months…the question is, this off-season, are prospects better spent on relief pitching or starting pitching, especially in a free agent market with so few quality starters truly available…
