Outfield: Mets not an Option for Manny or Abreu

by Matthew Cerrone on February 2nd, 2009 at 7:01 pm

Joel Sherman of the New York Post believes the Mets are no longer an option for free-agent outfielders Manny Ramirez or Bobby Abreu, now that they have re-signed Oliver Perez.

Instead, Sherman explains, “The only items they are still perusing are low-cost alternatives among righty reserve bats and lefty set-up men.”

…from what i can gather, people within the team’s business operations are currently planning, selling ads, creating marketing campaigns, etc., under the directive that Manny Ramirez will not be part of the roster… this does not mean important people’s minds cannot change, of course, but it does suggest, as of now, the business is operating like he is not an option and they’re not shy in saying so…

…at any rate, i would think, now that Scott Boras is done with perez, he’ll turn his attention to ramirez… and, if the Mets are an option, we will know soon enough…
