Relief Pitcher: Marquis to Mets will Get Done
Earlier today, Jon Heyman of SI.com said the Cubs and Omar Minaya are discussing a trade that would send starting pitcher Jason Marquis to the Mets.
Tonight, on SNY’s Mets Hot Stove, Heyman added:
“Marquis is a good number five starter, he’ll throw innings, he wins in double digits
– you know, it makes sense and I think it’ll will get done. I know Omar is saying it will be later and a long shot… I think the later part is right, but this makes too much sense. The Cubs are pushing on the Mets right now, but eventually I think the they will do this deal.”
Heyman also said he believes the Mets are considering Raul Ibanez, though they’re not alone, adding, ‘the Mets love him, and they will consider him if the price is right.’
Lastly, Heyman flatly said, ‘No,’ when asked if the Mets will go after free-agent OF Manny Ramirez, adding, ‘I just don’t think they want him on their team.”
