Read: Mets have Detractors on Millar
In a recent report for the Star-Ledger, citing officials with 
three major-league teams, Dan Graziano wrote, ‘Mets GM Omar Minaya has been calling around this week to gauge the availability of players he thinks could help the Mets improve,’ such as O’s 1B Kevin Millar, and Pirates OF Jason Bay and Xavier Nady.”
However, during an appearance on WFAN’s Mike and the Maddog, SI.com’s Jon Heyman said of Millar:
“He’s a feisty guy, I’d like to see him come in to that clubhouse, and be a guy who can shake things up. But, you know what, there’s some detractors in that front office on Millar. So, I’m not gonna give that a better than 50–50 shot…If you recall, Tony Bernazard came from the Player’s Union…and, I have talked with Tony about Millar, and I don’t sense that he’s a fan. I’ve heard from others that, because Millar crossed the picket line (in 1994) and he was a replacement player, but I didn’t get that from Bernazard. You can make a case against him with out that. But, I’ve heard this, and I wouldn’t be shocked if that was an issue.”
In 233 at bats for the O’s this season, the 36–year-old Millar is hitting .249 with 11 HR and 33 RBI.
