Outfield: Minaya denies interest in Juan Pierre

Earlier today, at FoxSports.com, Ken Rosenthal wrote, ‘The Mets have shown interest in trading for Dodgers OF Juan Pierre.’

However, when asked about Pierre and Andruw Jones, Mets GM Omar Minaya told the Los Angeles Times, “Pierre doesn’t fit for us – and Andruw Jones, we’d have to create a spot for him.”

That said, tonight on SNY, SI.com’s Jon Heyman acknowledged that the Mets have been in talks with the Dodgers.

Speaking of outfielders…

The Marlins are apparently in talks with the Reds and Rays regarding OF Jeremy Hermida, the details of which you can follow at MLB Trade Rumors.

Juan Pierre = Luis Castillo 2.0
Andruw Jones and Beltran would consist in a Cameron esque face injury. No thanks. Not to mention that he looks like he hasn’t done a cardio workout in 6 years.

Why cant we sign Milton Bradley?

Since Minaya denied interest in Pierre *and* A. Jones, maybe the rumors of a catching upgrade means Russell Martin?

I thought of Martin but t’s not likely. Maybe they have another reliever we would be interested in. No doubt I would do Castillo for Jones. Especially if Omar would consider letting Murphy share time at 2B with a guy like Grudzy.

In all seriousness, probably a good trade, but damn I hate to see Endy and Joe Smith go, for sentimental reasons mostly since I claim ignorance on how good the other guys are.

Has Ken Rosenthal been right about any of the rumors he has posted?
