TEAMS:
New York Yankees,
New York Mets,
Houston Astros,
Tampa Bay Rays
PLAYERS: Morgan Ensberg, Ty Wigginton, Mark Loretta, Scott Proctor, Ruben Gotay
PLAYERS: Morgan Ensberg, Ty Wigginton, Mark Loretta, Scott Proctor, Ruben Gotay
Just yesterday, George King wrote in the New York Post that the Yanks appeared on the verge of acquiring Wigginton in exchange for Scott Proctor, whom the Devils Rays were reportedly interested in converting to a starter. We can only assume therefore that the Yankees had second thoughts about parting with Proctor, or the D-Rays valued Wheeler more highly.
Moreover, the deal could signal the imminent departure of Mark Loretta. With Ensberg hitting just .232 this season, Loretta had seen increased time at third. Wigginton's arrival would seemingly make the already expendable Loretta even more so.
On Monday, we told you that the Mets were interested in Loretta as an option at 2nd base and in the No. 2 slot in the order, however the team certainly isn't desperate given the strong play of Ruben Gotay. Still Loretta would be a reliable veteran presence should Gotay struggle down the stretch.
