Buzz: Tigers have their Relief Pitcher

by Matthew Cerrone on July 30th, 2008 at 8:26 pm

Earlier this week, in a report for the Boston Globe, citing a team official, Nick Cafardo wrote that the Mets would be willing to part with RHP Scott Schoeneweis if they could obtain an outfielder.

According to Cafardo, the Tigers could be interested in Schoeneweis.

…there had been an idea floating around that the Mets could trade shoney to the Tigers for an outfielder, than acquire one of the many relief pitchers on the market to fill in the bullpen

however, it just occurred to me, that by the Tigers acquiring RHP Kyle Farnsworth from the Yankees for Ivan Rodriguez, they must no longer be seeking a relief pitcher, like schoeneweis

That said, according to a recent post from Dan Graziano at the Star-Ledger, the Yankees, Tigers, Rangers and Rays have all talked to the Mets about Schoeneweis.

…so, i guess the above model, which includes the Mets getting an outfielder, could still be in play
