Mets Trade Xavier Nady

Via ESPNews and SI, the Mets traded Xavier Nady to the Pirates for RP Roberto Hernandez and SP Oliver Perez.

This is after news broke that Duaner Sanchez is out for the year because he was inolved in a car accident. He separated his shoulder in the taxi accident. The Mets learned of this at about 1am this morning and were able to keep it quiet until it broke about 20 minutes ago.


edit:: Lastings Milledge will be called up to play RF. Oliver Perez will be sent to Triple-A Norfolk.

Cool Re: Mets Trade Xavier Nady

That's unbelievable. What is it with Mets and cab accidents? Tom Glavine was also injured in a taxi a couple of years ago. This really hurts the Mets. Sanchez was an outstanding 8th inning guy...

Re: Mets Trade Xavier Nady

The Mets may be the only team with such a big lead that has this many problems. Their starters are for the most part five or six inning pitchers at best, and now this in the bullpen. It shows you how weak the NL really is.

Re: Mets Trade Xavier Nady

The Mets will have the luxury of finding who will start Game 3 in the NLDS over the next 40-some games. Pedro will go Game 1. Glavine in Game 2. They'll have to choose from Duque, Trachsel, Pelfrey and Maine.

Hopefully Heilman can get himself on track for the 7th innings. Hernandez is a good set-up man. Wagner has the 9th.

We only need to get our starters through 6 innings before the pen takes over.
