Now that the Mets have all their pitching, and that they've pretty much locked Manny Ramirez out of the hut, you think they might renew their interest in trading for Jermaine Dye?He's a right handed bat (which they want), he's going to cost about $14 million less than Manny (which they like), and now that the White Sox are seemingly close to Bobby Abreu, there could be a necessity to trade Dye. (May we interest you in a slap hitting second baseman, Chicago?)
But seriously, I don't know what the Sox would want going the other way. It can't be much if they absolutely have to trade him, but it will probably be Homer Bailey in a deal that was rumored long ago. So I doubt Dye to the Mets would actually happen. But this is the kind of blog post you get when my caretakers actually allow me to think.
In an unrelated epiphany, if the Mets sign Victor Diaz as that right handed bat and think that bringing "Little Manny" back would take Mets fans mind off of "Big Manny", I'm going to jump off what remains of Shea Stadium. So they'd better knock that puppy down quick.
