Are the Mets REALLY interested in these third basemen (Rodriguez, Cabrera) or is it a smokescreen by management to lure better pitching or other players?
I can't for the life of me come up with a reason why they should consider moving Wright from third.
.
Wright isn't the kind of 3B that you desperately try to keep at that position. He is serviceable on D, but most of his value comes from his offense. Putting ARod at 3B and Wright at 1B(and exiling Delgado to the bench or somewhere else) will obviously improve their offense, and possibly their defense as well.

But don't you put yourself in a better defensive position with a left-handed 1B (as a general rule)? That wouldn't be Wright, though he'd be quicker and younger than Delgado.
Is Wright spry and savvy enough to move to 2B? As FH noted, his defense isn't terrible. But I wonder--if the team is pursuing another 3B--where they think he can/should play in the field.
The OF is going to be crowded for at least another year, since Alou's option got picked up. I don't think there's room for Wright out there unless they're going to trade OFs for pitching or an infield position.

Alright, enough of this ARod nonsense. I sure as hell hope we don't pick him up. He's not what we need. We have great shortstop and third basemen. Wright and Reyes are the core of this team, we need to build around them. I think it would be much better to spend on pitching than on ARod. Or to spend on a catcher, or 2nd baseman.
I want to see a trade for Bedard. I think that's much more affordable than Santana, and the guy is terrific. We need to land ourselves a number 1 starter, and some bullpen help.
Not ARod.

...a #1 starter, a #5 starter, a second baseman, a catcher, bullpen help...
Yeah, there's a lot of work to be done by the Front Office this off-season.
I suppose that with '08 being Pedro's contract year, the Mets will find out if giving him that fourth year was as ridiculous as most people thought it was at the time. Of course, last year's shoulder surgery and 9-month rehab points to the fact it was a bonehead move.

Yea. I know its earlier, and free agency has only been one day so far, but I am just itching, and totally agitated that we haven't made any real moves yet. I need some reassurance that this team is going to get the help it needs. I get the feeling we're not going to sign Torrealba and Lo Duca will sign elsewhere. If that is the case, then we're fucked.

You don't think Castro can handle the load of catching 125 games a year? I'd like his bat in the lineup more often, but I'd rather have someone else's glove in the game.

I think Castro would be exposed very quickly if he played everyday. He serves very well as the backup, who hits once or twice a week. if teams focused on him, scouted him as the everyday catcher, they would very quickly find the many holes in his swing. At this point, the Mets have zero chance of signing or trading for an offensive catcher, and should just focus on signing the best defensive catcher, one who works well with pitcher and can throw out basestealers. In this underwhelming market, the best offensive catcher is....Mike Piazza. That says more about the free agent/trade market than it does about Mike Piazza
Torrealba is official. 3 years $15 million. That's a lot for a guy who can't hit a lick. Outside of coors this year, he hit .212 with 2 HR's and 13 RBI's. There are a few pitchers who could hit better than that over 80 games

The Mets have decided on Yorvit Torrealba to replace Paul Lo Duca as their catcher for next season and beyond. Now it's a matter of whether Torrealba will choose them.
Torrealba is now holding three-year offers from both the Mets and Rockies, according to a National League official familiar with the situation, and will probably choose a team as early as today.
ETA: todays print version of Newsday says it is official, but the website says it is close.
Same site reports that the team has interest in David Eckstein. I guess they're considering 2B now that the deal for a catcher has fallen through.

Yea I saw both of those. Not sure what to think. Do the Mets go after Lo Duca now, would he even sign with us? I'd hate to have to trade for a catcher. Also, I think I'd rather sign Louis Castillo to play second then David Eckstein.

I think this is a great deal for the Mets. It's one of thoes deals that's almost to good to be true. Why would Milwaukee dump a catcher for one of the worst pitchers in baseball? I heard estrada has an attitude issue, and that he got into a scrap with manager Ned Yost. Then I read in today's Post that Estrada is arbitration eligible, and that the Mets may just let him become a free agent. That seems like a longshot, but why would you trade for a guy, then let him walk without playing a game? This shapes up as one of the weirdest trades I can remember. That said, I think it could pan out for the Mets. maybe not long term, but Estrada could put in a very solid offensive year for the Mets, provided he recovers from offseason knee and elbow surgery.
The 31-year-old Estrada hit .278 with 10 homers and 54 RBIs last season, playing 120 games behind the plate for Milwaukee, but is not necessarily the answer to the Mets' starting catching vacancy. Estrada is arbitration eligible in January, and a team source indicated it's possible the Mets will simply allow him to become a free agent.
That seems like a longshot, but why would you trade for a guy, then let him walk without playing a game? This shapes up as one of the weirdest trades I can remember.
Yeah it does seem a bit weird, but they got rid of Mota in the process. He would be a waste of 3 million or so in 2008, as well as wasting a roster spot
I believe the Twins and another team(Tigers?) have been involved in a similar trade this offseason. The Twins acquired a player who could make 4-5 mill in arbitration for a PTBNL, but the conditions were that if the Twins could not get the player to agree to take less money than his estimated arbitration cost, they would not have to send the PTBNL to the other team.
I guess. Who knows, it could be just a BS rumor that they might not offer him arbitration. Estrada isn't too bad though. he must have either:
had a major, non-fixable attitude problem
be much worse defensively than I was aware of
Not be expected to be ready for Opening Day based on his 2 surgeries (which seemed like minor surgeries)
or the Brewers have a minor leaguer ready to step up. Because Mota for Estrada is a steal in the mets favor, I believe
Check it out, A Yankee fan and an Astro fan hashing out a Met trade. Boy, Met fans must really be in hiding with Willie after the collapse. (See this past Sunday's Daily News for details) Not even Glavine headed back to Atlanta mentioned in here. That should be a fun day at Shea, when he takes the hill as a Bravo. It will be tough, but maybe he can throw a better game than his last as a Met....
Honestly, if the Mets trade Reyes I'm going to have trouble rooting for them. Especially as long as Omar is managing. I would love to get Santana, or some other front line pitcher, but seriously, do not trade Reyes.

I definitely agree with you. I would also much rather Bedard or Haren, because they can be acquired for less, and would be much cheaper. It would be something for the Mets to trade Green considering he's a free agent.
