-Piazza is on the market, but the Shawn Green trade seems to be a figment of someone's imagination, as does the Sosa/Piazza trade

-The Mets want to trade Floyd for Sosa but theres a 33.5 million dollar gap, so that is unlikely at the moment

-The Mets are looking into a trade for Alfonso Soriano but have refused to involve Jose Reyes. (Side Note: Too bad all this refusing to involve top prospects on a whim wasnt thought of 6 months ago)

-The A's dont want to trade any of their big 3 but might have too eventually

-Boras is gonna f*ck everyone over, he met with Minaya and Duquette yesterday and handed out booklets showing why each of the 8 players he represents are "icons", to which Minaya responded "We'll read these booklets on the plane ride back"

-Out of Boras' clients the Mets are most interested in Beltran and Ordonez

-The Yankees will go after Steve Kline, Eric Milton or Al Leiter immediatley

Thats all that comes to mind with the Mets. Easier than reading 10 different things

i still have a feeling the mets will trade for sosa, right now i highly doubt piazza and reyes will be traded (thank god), as for beltran i think minaya will talk to boras and maybe make an offer but i don't see anything going past that, the yankees will outbid everyone for his services!!!

i see the mets dealing cliff floyd for sosa, with the cubs kicking in some $$$ and sosa waiving the option clause that kicks in if he's traded. it's in everyone interest that this happen. :thumbup:

The Floyd/Sosa deal makes no sense. Floyd is clearly the inferior player, so why would they then eat that much money to make the deal go through?

cause they want to get rid of sosa, dusty doesn't like him, the players don't like him, sh*t even the cubs fans don't like him anymore, the cubs just want to dump him, they'll make that deal!!! :peace:

much like Brown with the Yankees or Guillen with the Angels.............. regardless of their ability, these players have worn out their welcome and need to be jettisoned.
