Mets Willing To Listen On Both Hairston And Byrdak
Joel Sherman of the NY Post, is reporting that the Mets are willing to listen to trade offers on both Scott Hairston and Tim Byrdak.
Hairston and Byrdak are both free agents at the end of the season and could be very helpful pieces to teams in contention.
Hairston is basically a left handed hitting specialist and has 12 homers and 37 RBI. He can provide a lot of power off the bench and also provide outfield depth for potential playoff teams.
As for Byrdak, teams are always looking for left handed relief help, especially during a stretch run. Byrdak is an extremely valuable piece and should be able to bring back at least 2 quality minor leaguers in a trade. He has a 4.28 ERA on the season with 15 holds.
Keep it locked in to MMO for more Mets news and trade rumors leading up the July 31st trade deadline.

Not bad now we deffinetly won’t hit lefties, not that we are going anywhere but they don’t wanna win games now.
We might as well see if we can get one or two young players for them since the season is shot, anyway. But I doubt we can get anything more than some other club’s young rejects. Just hope our people might see something in them that their parent clubs might not – it has happened.
Why get rid of them, why not bay, torres, otherbullpen jerks. Everything about the mets just don’t make sense. This is why owners like the wilpons don’t give a shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhit
because no one wants to trade for those guys?
My computer stop on me while writing, Like i said owners like the wilpons just don’t give a SSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHIT ABOUT THEIR TEAM PERIOD. Now will you people wake up. The money put inot this sport is crazy, players should not be making this kind of money at all. MLB is the blame for all of this, but at the same time look at bay all that money and he says what ever come on you jerk. Thje hitting coach is just like the hitting coaches the mets hire, they don’t know how to fix a hole in the bats of these hitters, we need pitching now not next year, we need bullpen help now, not next year, we need catchers who can hit now, not next year, we need a leftfielder who can hit now, not next year, we need a centerfielder who can play the postion right and who can hit now, not next year, Wake up front office mr SANDY, stop putting off till nextn year, make the pieces now, What is the hell wrong with u people, REALLY REALLY, i said before wilpons sell sell sell our mets team PLEASE< STOP OUR HURTING, CAN"T U UNDERSTAND THE FANS WHO PAY TO COME TO SEE OUR TEAM, NOT YOU, GET IT.
Unless we get a player(s) that can help if not this year then next year I say we keep them cause we don’t need anymore unproven players in system.
Lmao, this was very funny “Keep it locked in to MMO for more Mets news and trade rumors leading up the July 31st trade deadline” Mets news?? Trade Rumors?? Lol… .. Well, with an Gm way, and i mean WAY past his prime at the helm, i don’t see the mets doing anything productive at the deadline… Very funny though.. Thanks for the laugh SK
Bay stinks. Torres stinks. Guys like Murphy, Byrdak and Hairston wil bring something if they go. I would ike them to bring back someone who is major league or near major league ready, though.
Now is the time to clear out the veterans that do not figure in the plans for 2013. Perhaps the Giants would take Ramires and Torres back. Just pay their salary. Down in Buffalo are alot of AAAA types hoping for a chance to play in the Majors. Give them a chance. Perhaps we will find lightning in a bottle.
How will this team be better off in 2013 without Hairston and Byrdak? They are 2 of the players we have that are reasonably good performers. Get rid of them and this team will be even worse next year.
Hi Only,
With what you just said about Byrdak and Hairston, you’re only making a sad situation hurt even worse!
