MLB Rumors: Mets In on Manny Ramirez??

With rumors that the Mets have made an offer to starting pitcher Tim Redding, and are close to making an offer for starting pitcher Randy Wolf, are the Mets changing strategy and moving in on Manny Ramirez?

The Mets brass met with Scott Boras yesterday to discuss all of his clients, per Metsblog's Matthew Cerrone. They apparently discussed Derek Lowe, Oliver Perez and Manny Ramirez.

Yahoo's Gordon Edes says the Braves have "zeroed in on" Derek Lowe now that John Smoltz appears to be close to signing with the Red Sox.

Did Omar hear that Lowe is out of his price range, and switched course to Redding and Wolf, two pitchers he can grab for less than the price of Lowe? Does this leave him room to go after Manny Ramirez, assuming they now have interest?

 

Poll
Did Scott Boras finally get the Mets involved in the Manny Ramirez talks?
Yes, they need another bat in that lineup. Murphy/Tatis will not perform as they did in 2008.

No, Omar is playing Boras' game on Lowe, and still has no interest in Manny.

Nice Rumor

Probably nothing more than the Boras version of “would you like fries with that”, but it is not as crazy as some of the other things that the MSM speculates.

Redding

I can’t believe the Mets think Redding is better than any internal option. Seems a waste of money. However, if Taxpayer Bailout Field plays as large as recent reports suggest, Redding will be a nice sleeper.

I agree…it may not matter who is on the mound, just who is playing in the OF.
