Buzz: Heyman on Halladay, Holliday & Pineiro from SNY
Tonight on SNY’s Mets Hot Stove, SNY Insider Jon Heyman, from SI.com, said the Mets would have enough minor-league talent to get Roy Halladay from the Blue Jays, ‘but they’ll have to be very aggressive and gut their system.’
Heyman believes the Mets will look in to acquiring Halladay. However, he said, “To do that twice, and have two pitchers making $46 million, I just don’t see them doing it.”
In regards to signing free-agent OF Matt Holliday, Heyman said, ‘They have a good shot,’ and will be competing against the Cubs, Giants, Braves and Cardinals. The Yankees, however, will not be involved.
In terms of pitching, Heyman said, ‘The Mets really like Joel Pineiro,’ though he is not sure they are willing to commit three-years and $30 million to sign him.
