TEAMS: New York Mets, Chicago White Sox
In the Chicago Tribune, Mark Gonzalez writes that the White Sox have been looking to deal Javier Vazquez, Jermaine Dye, and possibly Bobby Jenks.
Of Course the Mets could use all three as they are looking for a closer, a starter, and possibly a corner outfielder. But the Mets remain content to get their closer via free agency and have not shown any desire to get Dye.
According to Gonzalez regarding Javier Vazquez, one scout doubted any talks involving him and the New York Mets would crystallize until the Mets resolve their closer issues. That being said, after they sign a closer..
Tuesday night, several Sox officials watched Mets pitching prospects Bobby Parnell and Eddie Kunz pitch for the Peoria Saguaros in the AFL. Two scouts believed Parnell, 24, was too valuable for the Mets to deal and believed Kunz, a projected closer, needed more seasoning in the minors.
Parnell and Kunz, 22, have sinking fastballs that Williams seeks to neutralize hitter-friendly U.S. Cellular Field.
I am sure that after Minaya gets his closer he might look into acquiring Vazquez. Jenks right now is a back up plan if he can't sign a closer..
Update:
NY Newsday is saying that the Mets remain interested in Bobby Jenks, but as I said before it will probably be a backup plan. According to Newsday, they don't love Huston Street and J.J. Putz is most likely off the trade market.
