Buzz: Nady is Unlikely for Mets

by Matthew Cerrone on March 26th, 2008 at 11:22 am

In a recent post to his blog for ESPN.com, Jayson Stark wrote that the Mets would like to acquire Tigers OF Marcus Thames or Pirates OF Xavier Nady.

However, according to Stark, Thames would cost Aaron Heilman, who the Mets cannot afford to trade.

Meanwhile, during his appearance on WFAN yesterday, SI.com’s Jon Heyman said:

“I haven’t seen any indication the Mets can get Nady.  They don’t have a lot of prospects.  The ones they do have, Fernando Martinez, guys like that, they want to hold on to.  I would be surprised, Pittsburgh just does not make many trades, the past regime, the new regime, they are just reluctant to make trades.  I don’t think the Mets have the pieces anyway.”
