Angels See Piazza In Wings

Angels Want Piazza

Quote:
 
Angels owner Arte Moreno has made no secret of his desire to supplant the Dodgers as the "it" team in southern California. So how would a trade for former Los Angeles icon Mike Piazza ratchet up that growing rivalry?

Anaheim was among several teams Mets GM Omar Minaya held talks with at the GM meetings last week in Key Biscayne, Fla. A person familiar with those discussions acknowledged last night that the Angels had expressed interest in acquiring Piazza, who starred for the Dodgers from 1992 through 1998 before establishing the all-time record for homers by a catcher in his five-plus seasons in Flushing.

The Angels, who have cleared more than $40 million from their payroll for expected runs at free agent outfielder Carlos Beltran and a top starter such as Arizona ace Randy Johnson, likely would have to shed other contracts in any deal for Piazza, who is slated to earn $16 million next season.

The Mets are seeking to clear Piazza's salary off their books to obtain Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa and they also will look to obtain two starting pitchers and a first baseman. But one baseball official said last night "there's not much of a market" for Piazza and the Mets "will listen to anyone who brings his name up."


also erstad was brought up in the article but from what i remember he has a limited no-trade clause and the mets are one of the teams on his no-trade list, i heard it from somewhere but i don't remember where exactly, i could be wrong!!!

If Piazza joins The Angels as a DH,and part time Catcher,and First Baseman,He'll do good in The AL,and The Mets will do better without Piazza.
