Mets back in the lefty market ?

The timing of the Duaner Sanchez release is unusual, the Mets had another week before the next installment was due. Wouldn't it have made sense to use that time to see if he came around, especially after the manager and pitching coach went to bat for him publically just the day before. Unless something else is in the works, maybe someone is getting close to signing that lefty they want and they needed the money to make a bid on him. Marty Noble points out that after the release of Duaner, Omar mentioned the lefty market. Will Ohman and Joe Beilmel are still out there and won't cost much more then Duaner would have........Minaya indicated Tuesday the club may look at available left-handed relievers now that the release of Sanchez has created a need. My sense of it was that the Mets needed one even before they ended their relationship with Sanchez. source MLB.com
