Mets Trade Cameron
The Mets agreed to trade Mike Cameron to the Padres for Xavier Nady. Cameron was unspectacular in his two years with the Mets and he didn't want to play right field. Cameron still has to pass a vision test related to his collision with Beltran last year in San Diego. His greatest Mets moment will be the catch he made on a flyball after he had already fallen down. Nady will likely be used to play first against lefties in a platoon with MIke Jacobs. The Mets will save a little coin on the deal, hopefully clearing way to acquire a big name right fielder.
Nady was paid 488k in 2005. I think Rick Peterson probably makes about that much.
ReplyDeleteIf the Mets can't get Manny, I hear they may look to signing Jacque Jones.
Yeah, the money was the key thing. Jacque Jones is not what we need. We need his type of player to play second, we need a big bopper in right. Delgado would be a mistake.
