Mets still interested in Blanton


According to the NY Daily News, the New York Mets are still interested in talking to Oakland about right-hander Joe Blanton, if the A's decide to move him.


A's GM Billy Beane confirmed that the Mets have asked to keep them in mind if he does decide to talk about a deal for Blanton saying "the Mets are interested in doing something there and to keep them in mind, just as it was with Haren."


With the A's in full rebuilding mode, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the A's did trade Blanton, especially if they can get at least 2 top prospects in return after getting 6 from Arizona in their trade for Dan Haren.
