Relief Pitcher: Mets with Mild Interest in Street

Following yesterday’s trade, which sent RHP Huston Street to the Colorado, Scott Miller of CBSSports.com said the Rockies are prepared to turn around and trade him, ‘though to which team he wasn’t sure.’

In a post today on his blog for the New York Post, Joel Sherman writes:

“The Mets have had only mild interest in Street (they are much more intrigued by Fuentes), but are sure to talk to the Rockies.  I would think the Cardinals might be the team more likely to make a strong run at obtaining Street.”

In 63 appearances for Oakland in 2008, the 25–year-old Street was 7–5 with a 3.73 ERA in 70 innings, during which opponents hit .229 against him and struck out 69 times.

He had a 2.88 ERA in 2007, and a 3.31 ERA in 2006, during which he also had 37 saves.
