Quote: Mets Building Inventory for Johan

by Matthew Cerrone on January 3rd, 2008 at 2:08 pm

During a chat with the Boston Globe, ESPN.com’s Peter Gammons said that Mets are currently trying to build up inventory to trade for Johan Santana, adding that Twins GM Bill Smith may be ‘waiting to see if any offer gets better.’

…hat tip to MLB Trade Rumors for the link

…i’m not sure what that means exactly…does he mean minor-league inventory…or, inventory on the major-league roster, which can make a player like Aaron Heilman more expendable than he may be today…man, i am so eager to see how this all plays out, for better or worse

In Gammons’s opinion, the Red Sox and Yankees should both sit tight and not make a big trade for Santana, adding…

“There are days when I really believe that the Red Sox and Yankees wake up and hoping somehow the Mets can find 4 or 5 good prospects in the organization and make the trade, but right now, that’s highly unlikely.”

…however, the big news from the chat is that peter is not a very big Hall & Oates fan…i’m sure you will sleep much better tonight knowing this

…big, bam, boom, peterbig, bam, boom…
