Buzz: Mets will not trade Holt, FMart or Mejia
In a post to Twitter, SI.com’s Jon Heyman quotes a team official as saying, ‘the Mets will not mortgage the future,’ in a trade.
Heyman takes this to mean Omar Minaya will not trade Fernando Martinez, Brad Holt or Jenry Mejia.
…in other words, the Mets will not be acquiring A’s OF Matt Holliday, nor any front-line starting pitchers… i believe Adam Dunn is more likely to cost major-league talent, like Bobby Parnell… i no longer believe the Astros will trade Carlos Lee, and, so far, the Rockies are holding tight because of their winning streak, in case you are thinking of Brad Hawpe… the same can essentially be said for the White Sox and Jermaine Dye… it’s going to be a weird market, frankly, because there are only three teams who are clearly out of contention… the rest are either in it, or believe there are still more tickets to be sold…
To follow Heyman on Twitter, go here, and tell him Matthew Cerrone sent you.
Speaking of trades…
According to the Philadelphia Daily News, the Phillies are struggling to trade for a starting pitcher.
