Buzz: Mets intend to Shop Luis Castillo
In a report for the Daily News, Adam
Rubin writes, “The Mets are signaling they intend to shop Luis Castillo this offseason, even if it means eating some contract.”
…well, jeeez, i would hope so…
…i think it’s becoming more and more clear that the Mets will have to pick up the option on Carlos Delgado for 2008 (a net cost of between $8 million and $12 million for the one year), meaning Daniel Murphy and Nick Evans will not get a crack at first base next season…the idea of murphy at second base is most intriguing to me…that said, it will be hard to ignore Orlando Hudson, who will be a free agent at the end of this season, and who has seemed like a perfect fit for a long time now – assuming castillo can be moved…
…for what it’s worth, earlier in the season, before the injuries, i recall some buzz that suggested the Cubs had interest in castillo and Aaron Heilman…
Rubin also writes about today’s series against the Phillies, as well as Jose Reyes and September’s past.
