Buzz: No Go on Parnell for Hairston
According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, the Mets turned down trading Bobby Parnell for OF Scott Hairston, who the Padres eventually sent to the A’s for two minor-league pitchers.
The 28–year-old Hairston hit .299 with 10 HR and 14 doubles in 197 at bats for San Diego this season.
Hairston is arbitration eligible through 2011, after which he can be a free agent.
Rosenthal also reports on the market for Braves RHP Javier Vazquez and Royals infielder Mark Teahen; and whether the Indians will trade OF Matt LaPorta for a top pitching prospect.
