Buzz: Mets have No Plans for a Deal

by Matthew Cerrone on July 1st, 2009 at 1:26 pm

According to an MLB executive familiar with the team’s thinking, ‘The Mets have no plans to make any major trades right now,” writes Andrew Marchand, in a post to his blog for 1050 ESPN Radio.

i do not doubt this… like i have been saying, they’re caught between a rock and a hard place… they’re desperate, and so teams are asking for the moon… at the same time, no one player will make up for losing three All-Star caliber hitters… yet, they need help… to trade top prospects for a knee patch would be foolish, but if they wait too long, the season could slip away

Marchand also blogs about how other teams view Fernando Martinez and Bobby Parnell, and how the current roster of injured players will impact their decision at the trade deadline.
