The only name out there that I would consider giving up Martinez or Niese for is Manny, and even that would take some deep thought... As far as the money, why should I care about that? It's not my money and I see no immediate plans to pass the hat for the Wilpons... Will Randy Winn be of value to the Mets? I have no idea, but as an expensive backup I don't see him causing any harm... The only reason I would go for this deal is that it wouldn’t cost us any of our decent prospects (unlike any Bay trade).

Way to go Omar. This also worries me. This quote might mean that the Mets will not cut ties with Castillo and eat his contract, and they will not aquire Orlando Hudson. while quoting a Mets official as saying, “That is a lot of money, and you tie yourself up and miss out on somebody else you really want (for 2009 and beyond).”

He's not very likely to get 20m/yr or more on the open market. He would either want those guaranteed or just sign an extension. Him wanting to turn down 40m doesn't sound right to me...

He's also had back spasms and hasn't hit a homer since June. Plus, check this out: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Volatile Kansas City outfielder Jose Guillen got into a heated clubhouse exchange with pitching coach Bob McClure, knocking over chairs before several Royals separated them prior to Saturday night's 3-0 loss to Tampa Bay. Guillen and McClure argued face-to-face, but no punches were thrown. Guillen, who unleashed a profanity-filled tirade against his teammates in May, went 0-for-4 and struck out twice. Guillen declined to comment on the incident. "It's been handled in-house and honestly," Royals manager Trey Hillman said after the game. "It's a non-issue. It's not a big deal. It's not going to characterize anybody." Guillen hurt his groin this weekend. He’s also had back spasms and hasn’t hit a homer since June. Plus, check this out:

Ibanez or Thames will do. Winn had no pop in his bat. we need some pop and and rbi's from LF. Love what Tatis is doing, but face facts, he's going to decline eventually. Hopefully I'm wrong. no! do not get Winn. Ibanez or Thames will do. Winn had no pop in his bat. we need some pop and and rbi’s from LF.

He's not mentioned because he's not moving. MLB Trade Rumors brought it up a month or so ago and KC said it wanted to keep him around.
