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.
