According to Dan Graziano of the Star-Ledger, the Yankees, Tigers, Rangers and Rays have all contacted the Mets about acquiring LHP Scott Schoeneweis.
Multiple reports continue to suggest that the A’s are open to trading RHP Huston Street, the Rockies will still consider 
offers for LHP Brian Fuentes, and the M’s may be soliciting requests for RHP J.J. Putz.
In the Chicago Sun-Times, Joe Crowley writes that the White Sox have targeted Street, “But one-on-one talks with the A’s apparently broke down over a lack of depth in the Sox’ farm system.”
Crowley adds, “According to a source outside the organization, Williams was talking to a handful of teams Wednesday afternoon in hopes of acquiring a back-end reliever in a three-way deal.”
…so, the market is so clogged, it may take a third team to simply return a ‘back-end’ reliever…
…jeez, it’s going to be one of those days, isn’t it…
Other relievers who are reportedly available include Braves LHP Will Ohman, M’s LHP Arthur Rhodes, Cubs LHP Scott Eyre, Royals LHP Ron Mahay, Pirates LHP John Grabow, Giants LHP, Jack Taschner and Jays RHP Scott Downs and Brian Tallet.

I’ll take Saltalamacchia for Shoey straight up
Same here, Salty is going to be good, I dont care what others think.
I would take that as well.
get jack tacshner, he is a guy who can get lefties out and also double as a long man. And it’s the giants, they would not ask for too much for him, then dangle feliciano to a team desperate for a lefty, as he has been good vs lefties and pitching better recently.
Seriously… we desperately need a set up man to compliment Sanchez and/or Heilman. I say we trade for one of these guys listed above and then go out and do what everyone is so desperately avoiding… sign Barry!
Why are we trading him again? I’m still confused why we would be trading a strong lefty releiver for another releiver.
we would not be trading reliever for reliever. It would have to do with schoe going to a team for an OF, then trading for one of the mentioned lefties to replace schoe, which would in fact be tough to find.
Ah, I see. Well if it’s been stated that the market is thin and asking prices are still high, why are we still shopping him?
In my opinion, our needs are:
1) Releiver who can get both sides of the plate out
2) Corner OF
3) Another player off the bench
If we can’t get any of them, we can make due fine. I’m actually quite sick of us having 3 catchers. We should look into getting a PH to replace Marlon Anderson too.
We will get the bench player in August during the waiver period, like we did with Shawn Green
My feeling is they like Feliciano better and want to get someone who can get both lefties and righties out, whereas currently both Schoenweis and Feliciano are lefty specialists, which makes the bullpen have to work more.
This year righties are hitting .338 against Feliciano. I don’t see much interest in him.
Righties are hitting .324 against Schoeneweis.
We really need another righty.
perhaps what they are trying to do is trade Shoe or Feliciano for an OF bat and bring up Eddie Kunz? I don’t know. This is pure speculation on my part.
I predict this day is going to be very very very very very intresting for the Mets
So intresting nothing is going to happen
I hate to disagree with you..
but I can’t.
At first i thought no way you trade Neise, but then i started to think about Neise for Street (although Im sure the A’s would want more)
Then next year move heilman to the rotation ( i know it would never happen) but with Sanchez, street, and wagner in the bullpen next year, it would be the perfect time to move heilman.
Then you have Johan, Maine, Pelf, ____, and Heilman. Fill that blank with Ollie P or something like that and you have your 2009 pitching staff in good shape, and still should have a good amount of money to spend on a 1b and LF.
Not just in good shape, but the best rotation in the major leagues
well whether or not its the best or one of the best…it would have to be considered one of the youngest…with johan being the elder statesman.
That’s interesting.
Right after I heard about the Yankees giving up Farnsworth yesterday. I sent an email to a Yankee quering why they would give up pitching when they seem in need.
Then I floated a Shoenweiss for Melky trade.
He is not have a phenom year, but I would take him.
Melky is worthless.
Melky’s defensive isn’t nearly as good as Endy’s and Melky’s bat is only marginally better. I don’t think a trade for Melky makes the team significantly better.
I will repeat it once more:
trading for Street means trading future for future
meaning what? you would do it or you wouldnt?
You mean in terms of trading a prospect or Shoe?
Prospects and I will do it
melky will be no good we need an outfielder not a guy that has numbers for a second baseman
i think street will be a great setup man on the mets,get him and trade feliciano or shoewe,they both have been up and down throughout the season
Send castillo packing he is 1 of the most overpayed players in the game,eat half of his salary and send him shipping,were good with the players we have playing second for the rest of the season
no one wants him
WITH PRICES BEING SO HIGH DEMANDING F-MART, KUNZ & NEISE IN RETURN FOR STRUGGLING VETS, I’D PRFER USING OUR AFOREMENTIONED ‘KIDS’ TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS SUCH AS, F-MART PLATOONING WITH TATIS IN LEFT WHILE LIGHTING CANDLES FOR HEALTHY CHURCH RETURN. SUPLANTING KUNZ IN 8th WITH HEILMAN WHILE CONTINUING STRENGTH PROGRAM FOR SANCHEZ. KUNZ HAS BEEN A MORE THAN JUST EFFECTIVE CLOSER AT ALL LEVELS AND SHOULD CERTAINLY GET HIS FIRST SHOT WITH US. LOW RISK, IF NOT READY, WE GO BACK TO WHAT WE HAVE SINCE VETS BEING MENTIONED ARE NO MORE GUARANTEED THAN HE IS. WITH EVERYONE COMPLAINING NYM DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH YOUTH, IT’S FUNNY HOW MANY PANIC FOR MORE RETREADS AT CRUNCH TIME.
Omar,sell high!–you know and we know schos contract
was/is a mistake, If you can get rid of it!
FMart isn’t even close to the majors.Think 2010 for
him And as for Kunz,one pitch–95mph fastball which is
pretty straight.These guys aren’t helping this yr.!
IBANEZ? RHODES? 2 MOS OF MANNY? THESE ARE YOUR BETTER OPTIONS? IF SO, WHO FILLS THE HOLES CREATED BY CASTILLO’S POSSIBLE CON’T AILMENTS? WHO REPLACES WAGNER AFTER ‘09 RETIREMENT PARTY? WHO PLAYS LF IN ‘09? HELL, GUYS, THERE’S ONLY 2 MOS TO GET THROUGH, ARE YOU GOING TO FEAR THE WORST FOR THE REST OF YOU’RE MISERASBLE LIVES. YES, MISERABLE ‘CAUSE THAT’S WHAT U GET WHEN U FOREVER EXPECT THE WORST. THERE WASN’T ONE NAME OUT THERE THAT PERSONALLY, I FOUND EXCITING. MANNY, SANS BORAS, POSSIBLY; BUT WITH BORAS IT’S A 2 MONTH CURFEW & I’D PREFER TO SHOOT FOR TEX & MANNY AS F/A. WHERE SCOTT ALWAYS GOES TO THE MARKET, ASKEWING PRESENT TEAMS.
