Mets placed John Maine on the DL today. That makes 3 starters down from the fantastic five that started the season. Well not the Mets are blazing the NL East with wins but if there were its being reported that Roy Oswalt has asked Houston owner Drayton McLane Jr. to be dealt before the July 31 trade deadline.
Oswalt said last week that he was "open" to a potential deal and would waive his no-trade clause if he could join a contending team.
The right-hander is guaranteed to earn $15MM this season, $16MM in 2011, and will require a $2MM buyout of his contract for 2012, a club option for another $16MM. He turns 33 in August.
Atlanta, St. Louis and Texas are reportedly Oswalt's top preferences for a new team.
Of course he would be a great addition to the team but at what cost. Of course if he could hit I would be all for it since the Mets offense has been putrid. Big output tonight of 4 hits. 2 in the bottom of the 9th off of Rivera.
