In his latest rumor-mill round up, citing ‘whispers, at Baseball Prospectus, John Perrotto suggests the Mets and White Sox 
could be discussing a deal that could send OF Jermaine Dye and RHP Bobby Jenks to the Mets for OF Fernando Martinez and others.
…a deal between the Mets and Sox involving dye and jenks may have been true once before…however, from what i can gather, the Mets are more focused on Huston Street, since they match up better with the Rockies…plus, i believe he will cost less…
…as for dye, i have no idea if he’s a realistic option, but, as i have said before, he’d be a pretty good fit…however, trading martinez to get him would cancel out one of the reasons, i.e., a short-term solution, which makes dye appealing…
Last week, at FoxSports.com, Ken Rosenthal wrote that the Mets have been looking for a right-handed bat.
“On Tuesday, Nov. 11, several White Sox officials watched Mets pitching prospects Bobby Parnell and Eddie Kunz pitch in the Arizona Fall League,’ reported the Chicago Tribune.
According to Gonzales, citing two NL scouts, the Sox were scouting players for deals that include Dye, who hit .292 with 34 HR, 96 RBI and a .344 OBP in 154 games last season.
Dye will earn $11.5 million in 2009, after which he has a mutual option in 2010 for $12 million, or a $1 million buyout that could make him a free agent.
On Nov. 18, I wrote, “From what I can gather, the Mets are likely to make a trade for a relief pitcher, who has experience as a closer,” in addition to signing either Francisco Rodriguez, Brian Fuentes or Kerry Wood.”

Never!
Sign Tex!
LOL…case.. i think our efforts will be worthless!!!!!!
You Gotta Believe Alex!
I DO!!! i just put my pieces together and i came to the conclusion that if we do that trade it will help us to get a front line pitcher and trade that guy we got at first so when the winter meeting starts we go to boras and say:”WE WANT #25!!”
meaning go sign a front line pitcher? theoretically, it would provide money to spend on SP and then you’re man-crush.
LOL.. starz31.. i think i do have a crush on #25.. i’d be prottling like a lil girl!!! lol..
although, Dye would cost 1-3$ mil less than Krod would. krod would be locked up longer. But using that logic, they would still need to spend additional money to go and acquire Tex after getting a SP. I would love to see Tex hitting bombs into our RF over-hang, but I don’t see us getting into a bidding war over him.
Not going to happen…..
Replace Jenks with Danks, and you got yourself a deal.
I’d do Dye and Jenks for F-Mart straight up!
F-Mart and Castillo.
F-mart castillo heilman
Care to provide a little more insight than just what was given at MLBtraderumors.com?
That is all they have ….not much of a rumor if you ask me…I highly doubt this will happen..or is even close….why put this out there a day after the Braves/Sox deal?? I guess Omar wants us to have hope ,but our only big move will be signing KROD
No way this is true. Dye’s got a year left and we’re gonna offer f-mart?? no no no
same thing i was thinking
your missing the most important point in most omar’s transaxtions:
DYE is 36… PERFECT!!!!
well he’s actually 34…will be 35 in January.
get it done!!!
re-post :)
santana
peavy (for f-mart, murphy, other)
pelfrey
maine
garland, lowe, ollie, or penny (1 year deal max)
k-rod
street (for heilman, feliciano)
smith
sanchez
schoenweis
stokes
reyes, ss
baldelli, lf
wright, 3b
beltran, cf
delgado, 1b
church, rf
schneider/castro, c
castillo, 2b
F-Mart, Murphy and another is not enough for Peavy. I’d do it, but its not close to enough.
i think when we see the final deal ofr peavy it won’t be a better package.
though i’m sure the padres want a young pitcher back. best the mets can do is joe smith.
wow.. i’m shocked you still want peavy.. he’s good but he wouldn’t wanna pitch here.. too much pressure for him..
agree…hunting for rats can only be so much fun.
Highly Doubt that would get Peavy.
Plus, that leaves only one Lefty in the Pen with Show. I would think we would need at least one other effective lefty Reliever.
Baldelli is a nice story, but would also be another question mark in the lineup that has the question mark of Church, Castillo, Schneider and even Delgado. We need a bona-fide thumper in LF.
Don’t know what to think of this one…Aren’t the sox looking for a bat and pitcher for 2009 now that they didn’t really get one in the Vazquez deal(emphasis on 2009). I don’t know if Fmart gives them that. what else could be in the package?
It’s tough to swallow another aging bat. I’d rather see Fmart in a trade for a younger bat. Jenks is young, cheap, and effective.
And…why wouldn’t we just throw some cash at K-Rod?
Until the Krod domino falls I don’t believe any of these rumors.
With the vegas meetings less than a week away, I don’t see how we trade for Jenks before even talking to Krod.
becaus by then we can shift the focus to tradin that guy we got at first and start the bidding for #25…. YES!!
The guys at Baseball Prospectus never get it right. The only worse site is Gotham Baseball.
I think, as with all publications, that it depends more on the writer. Will Carroll of BP seems be reliable but I don’t know much about John Perrotto, etc.
trade talented youth for washed up gizzer….
same Omar
different year
man, oh man, is this routine gettin’ “old”
pun intended…
LOL.. GOOD ONE EDDIE..
that pattern usually is correct…but I wouldn’t consider Johan a washed up gizzer. Maybe he’s reverting to his old ways.
If this happens I will ask for Minaya’s head……wait can I say that?
no…you have to wait 4 more years to do so.
First ever post on The Blog. *Cracks open some bubbly*
Dye and Jenks for FMart and some pieces?
Not sure how I feel about that. I would not be excited to see just how many prospects it would take to get both Dye and Jenks. Including FMart would certainly reduce the total amount of players, but I’m not sold on this idea. I’m not against trading FMart, but for an aging outfielder making too much money, and an overrated “Closer” doesn’t sit well with me.
While Dye is a solid bat, I’d prefer the Mets use FMart for someone younger with better defensive abilities - maybe a guy like Kemp. Jenks, to me, is totally overrated. His K rate is abysmmal for a Closer, and from what I had been reading, the Sox’s perceived value of him is way too high.
I’d like the Mets to sign Wood to close, add another FA bullpen arm (Beimel or Cruz), and use Delgado to get another 7th/8th inning releiver and a bench guy. (Heilman and Feliciano/Schoe I’d like to package into a 5th starter - Edwin Jackson or someone young with potential) I’m also a little concerned how the Mets’ bench is going to look this year. It was not a strong point of the club as it was in recent years.
After those bullpen fixes, I’d go all out for Teixeria. He is, by far, the biggest impact player in the market this year. Argueably, he is the biggest FA in the past three+ years (Arod doesn’t count because his economics make no sense for any team).
Finally, if the Mets are seriously in on Jenks, and Wood doesn’t work out, they can go after Jenks at next year’s trade deadline.
first post is the hardest…now comes hours of procrastination and ineffectiveness at work.
hours? more like weeks or months.
you’re right…i meant daily though…lol.
Yeah, I already have been on here wasting time just reading posts from other people. I figured it about time I start to weigh in considering I watch 125+ Mets games a year and check ESPN, MLB.com, and this blog about 40x each every day.
Besides, it’s very entertaining playing Mets GM.
i would not give up f-mart for dye and jenks. I say take out jenks and add alexi ramirez and we could add another prospect. We will get a very good second basemen and a right ahnded power outfield bat that we desperatly need.
can’t really argue against alexi, he’s a star in the making. but he also is about to become their starting SS next season and is their prized young jewel…It’d be tough to acquire him.
they wont trade alexi
I only want dye, k-rod is better than jenks and wont cost us f-mart.
evans, kunz a low prospect for dye. thats it!!!
Agreed. You need to hold on to Fernando.
That won’t get Dye. They want a top prospect for him. Fmart is too much thus the Mets say throw in Jenks then the Sox say throw in…..
