If you were GM of the Mets, would you make a trade? Would it be before the July 31 deadline? Would you stand pat?
Would you trade for a starting pitcher? A corner outfielder? A more accomplished first baseman (from cries of a month ago)? Relief help?
If I were the Mets GM, this is what I would try and do:
- I would contact Pittsburgh and see what it would take to pry Jason Bay away from them.
This might seem like it isn't enough, but if you notice what the Yankees gave up for both Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte, this deal seems fair.
According to Cots Baseball Contracts, Bay is under contract through 2009, making a reasonable $5.75M this year, and $7.5M in 2009.
If you were GM, would you make this trade? It seems fair compared to what the Yankees gave up to get Damaso Marte and Xavier Nady.
This would satisfy the Mets corner OF position for the next two years until Fernando Martinez is ready. The Pirates might not go for it, but it should be a starting point.

If we were the yankees the pirates would go for it. Since we are not the pirates are still looking for the big guns. Id make that trade.
If you look at the stats, Feliciano is at least as good as Ohlendorf, and Sanchez and Carp are having good years at the AA level. I think it's a fair offer.
