Soriano To The Mets: Update

We have an update on the Alfonso Soriano to the Mets rumor posted earlier today.  MLBTradeRumors.com has learned that the Milledge and Trachsel for Soriano deal was proposed prior to the acquisition of Carlos Delgado.  Now that Delgado has been acquired, the Mets will turn their focus to Billy Wagner and Ramon Hernandez.

Soriano is considered nonessential to the Mets at this point, and any trade for him would not include Lastings Milledge.  The Rangers have a stronger need for pitching and that will be the focus of any Soriano deal.
