It's that time of year. Trading deadline is only five days away, and the Mets desperately need at least one corner OF. I would love to see Ryan Church return, but as Mets fans, we can't put all our eggs in one basket. I would look forward to Church 2009. It would be unfair to expect Church to return this year to his pre-concussion form.
According to MLB Trade Rumors, NY Daily News columnist Adam Rubin reports the Mets have narrowed their focus on obtaining a corner outfielder. A team insider told Rubin the team could trade for Casey Blake (most likely going to the Dodgers), Jason Bay, or Raul Ibañez. The approach would be to wait until after the non-waiver trade deadline, looking for the players to clear waivers, so a trade can be made, without having to pay the exorbitant asking price for said outfielders.

Reading between the lines:
With Xavier Nady now off the trading block, Rubin believes it might change their plans on Bay. Bay has stated he would like to remain with the Pirates if they would extend his contract and look to build around him.
