Looks like the Red sox were willing to drop one of there expectations and not pick up Wags 2010 option but per reports that surfaced late last night he is most likely going to veto a trade.
If that is the case the Mets will have a reliable 8th inning guy while waiting for J J Putz to make it back in early September. Will the Mets benefit by not doing a trade with the Sox? I think there is some train of thought that the Mets would have liked to dump his salary.
Now if the Mets offer him arbitration next year and he declines they could get some draft picks via the team that signs him. The Mets would be foolish not to offer him arbitration since he will more then likely decline so he can sign on with a team to close.
Or will the Mets sign him and then try to trade him?
If the Mets still have the opportunity to trade to the Sox in the short time they have left and convince Wags to go I think they should get it done. One less issue to deal with next year.
