Posted Saturday October 04, 2008, About: Mets open to trading Wright, Reyes?
I've got a trade: Strength for strength. The Blue Jays have the best pitching in the majors, and if JP Ricciardi thinks deep enough, he'll actually pull out this trade......

Wright + Reyes for BJ Ryan (LHP, 32 saves, 2.95ERA, 58K/58IP) + Scott Downs (LHP, 5 saves, 1.78 ERA) + Scott Rolen (3B) + Aaron Hill (SS/2B)

Both Rolen and Hill the gold glove caliber defenders; while Ryan and Downs will immediately solve the Mets' bullpen problems. I admit, this is a big move for both teams, and both GMs will need to have guts to make the move. But the trade addresses the Jays' need for a big bat and a SS who can leadoff, while the Mets' gave up some production (yet didn't give up any defense) to get full bullpen upgrade to a point where it is lights out after 7 innings when you have a lead. Makes sense?
