Buzz: Heyman’s Package for Dan Haren
In a recent report for SI.com, the great Jon Heyman writes that the Red Sox, Mets, Yankees and Dodgers ‘have what it takes’ to trade for A’s RHP Dan Haren.
According to Heyman, a package from the Mets including Lastings Milledge, Mike Pelfrey and Kevin Mulvey would be ‘reasonable.’ In fact, “Milledge looks like a goner from the Mets, writes Heyman, adding, “I am hearing his name so much in trade talks I am starting to think his nickname is Chip.”
Lastly, Heyman notes that the Mets have talked to the Nationals about Brian Schneider, the Orioles about Ramon Hernandez and the Rangers about Gerald Laird.
…sorry, but i’m still stuck on Chip Milledge…
By the way, in addition to the above Mets information, Heyman also writes about Johan Santana, who will cost at least a center fielder and a pitcher; the market for Miguel Cabrera; and Mike Piazza, who is open to playing in Japan, should nothing pan out for him in MLB.
…paging Bobby Valentine…Mr. Bobby Valentine…seriously, if piazza ever joined Benny Agbayani and bobby on the Chiba Lotte Marines, i think i might actually start following that team…
