Buzz: Mets, Nady and Bay
In a recent post to his blog for ESPN.com, Buster Olney writes that the Mets, Yankees, Rays and A’s continue to keep in 
contact with the Pirates regarding OF Jason Bay and Xavier Nady.
According to Olney, citing one rival executive, the Pirates asking price has been slightly downgraded from ‘absurd to crazy.’
In his latest Rumblings & Grumblings column for ESPN.com, Jayson Stark writes that you can get Bay in exchange for ‘two sure-thing prospects, one good prospect and a fourth prospect with upside.’
According to Stark, Nady will cost you ‘one sure thing, one good prospect and a third, more iffy, prospect.’
…from what i can gather, the Rays seem to be making the most aggressive push for bay…the D’Backs and A’s have been pretty interested as well, while the Mets have totally backed off…
…as for nady, again the Rays are most aggressive, followed by the the Yankees…the thing is, nady – or bay, for that matter – like stark suggests, will likely cost at least Rays LHP Jake McGee or RHP Wade Davis, or Yankees LHP Ian Kennedy, and it does not sound like either team is at that point yet…for instance, the Rays are probably thinking more along the lines of a RHP Jeff Neimann, though that is just a guess…
…in other words, to get nady, the Mets will have to part with most all of their best pitching prospects…again…
