Plenty of buyers for Ortiz?
Ben
Maller reports that the Mets, along with several other clubs, have set their
sights on Ramon Ortiz:
The Mets plan to pursue Anaheim pitcher Ramon Ortiz, who's
requested a trade. But a deal won't be easy, as the Mets may have plenty of
competition. "I think this is a guy who will attract a significant amount of
interest," said one National League GM who wished to remain anonymous. "You
get a guy with a live arm. The money is not a killer."
I would assume that the White Sox acquisition of Freddy Garcia takes the
Ortiz/Valintin deal off the table, but seeing that several teams have shown
interest gives me hope that the Angels may still be able to find a stop-gap
third baseman for this season. At the very least they could pick up some
pieces to make the Johnson deal more likely.
