Buzz: Mets Interested in Ramon and Bedard

According to the Baltimore Sun, citing a ‘club source,’ in addition to having interest in acquiring LHP Erik Bedard, the Mets have also expressed interest in C Ramon Hernandez, who will cost ‘a high-end prospect.’

which is obviously why we are being inundated with Yorvit Torrealba rumors, and why it makes zero sense to trade for a catcher, at the same time the Mets are in dire need of trading for a pitcher…to part with a high-end prospect to get hernandez would be foolish

By the way, the Sun also writes that the O’s intend to discuss a long-term contract with Bedard, who is eligible for free agency after 2009, before realistically exploring the trade market.

According to the report, while the Mets, Yankees and Angels have all expressed recent interest in trading for Bedard, the Dodgers are said to have been the most aggressive, with players such as Matt Kemp, Jonathan Broxton and Clayton Kershaw having all been discussed.
