Outfield: Market crashing around Dunn, Abreu
Buster Olney of ESPN.com believes free-agent OF Bobby Abreu is now willing to accept a one-year deal.
Olney speculates that the Mets, Braves, Angels, Giants and Red Sox could have interest in Abreu.
…watch the Braves, actually, as there has been more and more buzz of late linking abreu to Atlanta… also, the Angels make a lot of sense as well…
…i am no fan of abreu, but for a one-year deal, worth less than $10 million, he has to be considered by the Mets, and i am sure he will be… however, i am not sure who would move to left, him or Ryan Church, and i have no idea what would happen to Daniel Murphy… unless, of course, the Mets traded Carlos Delgado, which is not likely to happen…
Meanwhile, the Washington Post quotes an agent who feels free-agent OF Adam Dunn may be forced to accept a one-year deal worth, at most, $5 million.
The agent is quoted as saying, ‘I feel comfortable saying that no big market team seems like a true, head-over-heels suitor.’
…ok, now this is getting ridiculous… i realize people have polarizing views of dunn, and that people in baseball are not very excited about him, but, folks, 40 HR, 100 RBI and a .380 OBP, regardless of his strike outs and defense, is border-line robbery for a team like the Mets… yet, there is still no indication he is on their radar…
