Jose Guillen
29 July 2008
t shorter list of outfielders for whom the Mets could trade without giving up a top prospect. Jose Guillen said he wants out of Kansas City, but his recurring attitude problems should keep him off the Mets' radar screen. Bay, Giles and Ibanez would all be good targets for the right price. Earlier reports indicated that Pittsburgh was looking for top prospects in return for any of their coveted players, but after the Yankees fleeced them, you have to believe anything can happen. Of those three, Bay probably fits the Mets best, so if he can be had without giving up Martinez, Niese or a significant major league player, Minaya should go for it. Giles is the next most attractive option, followed by Ibanez. Randy Winn is a conceivable back-up plan, but he would not even necessarily start for the Mets should they acquire him.
