Buzz: No Go on Parnell for Hairston

by Matthew Cerrone on July 8th, 2009 at 9:51 am

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.
