The New York Mets and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have been in talks about Juan Rivera, but a trade is starting to look more and more unlikely. On the surface a trade between the two ball clubs would make perfect sense.
For the Angels, they'd love to move an outfielder and if its Rivera they'd love to send him out of the American League where they don't have to face him. For the Mets, they need right handed hitting outfielder.
So what's holding this deal up?
