Dodgers Acquire Lilly and Theriot
The Mets have more or less a “set” lineup and several immovable contracts. That said there are few places where there is an opportunity to upgrade.
The two places where the Mets might be able to improve would be in the starting rotation and second base.
Ironically, these are the same spots that the Dodgers upgraded just a few minutes ago, by trading Blake DeWitt to the Cubs for Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot.
Sit tight, Mets fans … Omar Minaya is working the phones furiously right now and I’m sure he’s on the verge of a blockbuster!
So I’m confused.
If the Mets are NOT a championship-caliber team, then shouldn’t they have been sellers?
