Peter Gammons stated that Jason Bay rather play in Beirut than in Queens. (Thanks to Metsblog for the tip) Great, I have no problem with this. Let him play there. I know that the free agent process is a long and tedious one but I think it’s time for the Mets to make a little stand …

Another rumor from the most active reporter of the day. This one from Sherman’s Twitter page: “If Burrell goes to #Cubs for MBradley, #Mets consider Castillo-for-Burrell, but r hesitant because of defense/makeup issues with Burrell” If true, how desperate are the Mets to unload Castillo. We heard from Heyman earlier this weekend that the involvement …
