According to two baseball sources, Huff, who is having a resurgent season, passed through revocable "trade" waivers and can be dealt until midnight Aug.31 and still be eligible for a contender's postseason roster.
In addition, one source confirmed that a trio of Orioles veterans - outfielder Jay Payton, first baseman Kevin Millar and reliever Jamie Walker - also passed through waivers and could be traded this month.
Despite hitting .301 with 25 homers, 79 RBIs and a .553 slugging percentage, Huff presumably passed through waivers because any claiming team would be responsible for paying more than $10million remaining on his contract, including $8million in 2009.
I can't the Mets making a push for Huff, but I can see them get Millar to sure up the bench..and also spell Delgado against lefties. Plus, Millar has won before and he is a leader on any team...
