Buzz: Debunking Crisp for Pagan
As noted earlier, WFAN’s Ed Coleman reported on-air that the Mets and Red Sox are discussing a swap of Angel Pagan for Coco Crisp.
…however, i was able to speak with two people connected to the Mets, both of whom dismissed the idea of trading pagan for crisp…
Furthermore, the Boston Globe recently wrote the following to their blog, Extra Bases:
“Ignore that rumor started about Coco Crisp heading to the Mets for Angel Pagan. Theo Epstein, through media relations director John Blake, said that the Red Sox have not been talking to the Mets.
“That the story was a fabrication.”
Also, at his blog for Newsday, David Lennon relays his talk with a Mets official, who more or less says the same thing.
By the way, Pagan hit a two-run home run today and is now batting .419 this spring with 10 RBI.
