Catcher: Mets Open to trading Schneider
In a post to his blog for SI.com, Jon Heyman says there are ‘indications,’ based on conversations with other team 
executives, that ‘the Mets appear open to trading either Ramon Castro or Brian Schneider.’
According to Heyman, “Should the Mets find a deal for their catchers, longtime Red Sox C Jason Varitek, a free agent, could be a possibility for them. Mets GM Omar Minaya has always liked Ivan Rodriguez, but it isn’t known whether they’d consider I-Rod, as well.”
In late October, Heyman reported that the Mets had discussed trading for Giants C Bengie Molina.
The Boston Globe has written that the Red Sox would likely have to part with Clay Buchholz or Michael Bowden in a deal for Rangers C Taylor Teagarden or Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
