Buzz: Mets, D’Backs Showing Interest in Adam Kennedy

by Michael Baron on December 7th, 2009 at 2:38 pm

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports says the Mets and the Diamondbacks are showing the most interest in Adam Kennedy.

Rosenthal says if the Mets could trade Luis Castillo that Kennedy could be a less expensive option than Orlando Hudson.

Kennedy is an interesting option…he is a gritty guy, and does a lot of little things right, which would be a welcomed addition for the Mets…he doesn’t normally have that much pop although he hit for some power last year and certainly more than Castillo, but for the most part he has been a consistent player throughout his career…

Kennedy, who will be 34 on Opening Day, hit .289 with 11 home runs and 63 RBI with a .348 on base percentage for the Athletics in 2009.
