Starting Pitcher: Mets show interest in Sheets
Yesterday, in Newsday, David Lennon says the Mets have recently begun showing interest in free-agent RHP Ben Sheets.
In the Boston Globe, Nick Cafardo says, “Don’t be shocked if the Phillies have interest in Sheets as well,” as they continue to try to find an inexpensive, front-end starting pitcher.
By the way, Lennon adds, the Mets are not involved in talks with free-agent LHP Andy Pettitte, according to a person familiar with the club’s thinking.
Speaking of pitchers…
Free-agent LHP Tom Glavine is open to pitching for the Nationals, according to the Boston Globe.
Lastly, the Phillies may be looking in to trading Bret Myers, explains Braves reporter Mark Bowman at MLB.com.
