A small note from SI.com's Jon Heyman:
The Mets appear to be looking for a right-handed-hitting outfielder to platoon with Ryan Church.
Presumably the need would be for a lefty-mashing, right-handed hitter. Drunk Jays Fans would like a Reed Johnson rumor started. Pretty...

Free agents' contract situations a difficult fit for Cubs' plans
There's no question Rich Harden and Reed Johnson would prefer to return to the Cubs in 2010, and in a perfect world, Jim Hendry would probably re-sign both.

Acquiring a guy like Johnson doesn't give the Mets a bat they can rely on in the clutch, but it does give them depth. Something this Mets team lacks. Alou is older, and has shown signs of breaking down. Ryan Church has some great potential, but only has one season under his belt...
