Well Mets fans, it appears that the Mets have now engaged at least one team in trade talks.  Closer Francisco Rodriguez appears to be the Mets’ first trade chip to be actively shopped. 

According to Bob Klaspich of the Bergen Record, the Mets have talked to the Yankees about K-Rod. 

As expected, the Mets are going to at least see what they can get by putting K-Rod and possibly others out in the market, which is fairly understandable.
