8:46pm: The Giants and Mets are believed to be discussing a deal that would send Andres Torres and Ramon Ramirez to New York for Angel Pagan, tweets Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News. That would match up with the two-for-one rumors, and Torres and Pagan qualify as "change of scenery" players as well.
8:33pm: Hot on the heels of their agreement with Jon Rauch, the Mets have a multi-player trade in the works, tweets MLB Network's Jon Heyman. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter) describes the deal as a "change of scenery" trade both ways, and says the Mets are going to receive two players in exchange for one. Joel Sherman of the New York Post (Twitter link) hears that the move will net the Mets another reliever.

MURPHY PLEASSSSEEE!
Joveoak
Hopefully it’s a good deal and the players traded to the other team won’t come back to haunt the Mets.
MeowMeow
Mets, sit down. Wait until the Pujols thing is over, come on now.
(But seriously, who could they be trading that would be need a “change of scenery”? Jason Bay?)
Chipper_is_GOD
Mike Minor and Prado for David Wright?
Tim Yzaguirre
ESPN is reporting Ned Colletti is in the works for a trade to upgrade the offense. I hope the Dodgers are getting David Wright!!!
true2lablue
Where did you hear this ??
vtadave
ESPN I think….kidding.
jwsox
doubt the dodgers have the prospects to get wright
Michael Yu
Yeah, and bring in a 6th infielder to the team.
hodag435
Jason Bay for Alex Rios.
Matt Manzella
We can only wish.
jwsox
who the mets or sox because i can see both sides thinking that
Matt Manzella
Both, but mostly the Sox. That contract is an albatross.
jwsox
ha so is bays….rios has one more than bay but the total amount left is roughly the same
User 4245925809
Bay has a chance to perform and return to his old power form if he ever got out of Citi Field, where HR go to die. Rios is what he always was.. An over paid fringe player.
jwsox
oddly enough it could very well be that….I would be the sox would probably have to throw in beckham, which As a sox fan I would honestly be ok with…money is very similar….bay is owed more per year but rios has one extra year on the deal
Tom
Interesting.
BLEACHER_CREATURD
I don’t like growrice
Craig
Hopefully they traded David Wright.
cards2WS
Bay or Pelfrey.
Guest 5841
The way I read it, Rauch was part of this multi-player trade with “another RP on the way”.
Patrick OKennedy
Rauch was a free agent. Not a trade.
Zeeshan Merchant
leave him alone thats just how he read it
He just scrambled the words and read it like that
Mike N
Pelfrey or David Wright!
Kirk Edward Gerwin
Please be Andy Dirks + Ryan Raburn for Daniel Murphy!
Josh Gedert
Dirks + Perry
rfffr
I think pelfrey for affeldt and ramirez
mgsports
Houston Street for Murphy?
Bailey for Bay?
Soria for RA Dickey?
GriffeyandSizemore
lol lol lol
Garrett Thestutterer Allen
Dude are you serious??? None of what you just said makes sense….
dudemanbro
cocaine’s a helluva drug
Rangersfan32 2
Maybe if the Mets packaged those three players they could get Street. But hell, that package wouldn’t even be enough for Bailey or Soria lol.
$4555515
2 for 1’s are always nice
Christopher David
It’s w/ the Phillies. Placido Polanco and Jose Contreras for David Wright. HA!
RobA
For the Met’s sake, I hope it’s Jon Rauch
Conebone69
I’m guessing Murphy to the Tigers
Chipper_is_GOD
WAIT, ILL CALL IT
Gio Gonzalez and Andrew Bailey for David Wright.
Kirk Edward Gerwin
I take that Back Andy Dirks + David Pauley for David Murphy
Rangersfan32 2
David Murphy is on the Rangers. And I’m positive Texas has no need for those two players.
Rangersfan32 2
David Murphy is on the Rangers. And I’m positive Texas has no need for those two players.
Topshelf Nick
Johan Santana vs John Danks + Chris Sale?
jwsox
you cant be serious right? I know Kenny seems like he has lost his mind in recent years but why would he trade Danks and Sale for old, injured incredibly expensive Santana? Even if Johan was to only cost the sox 1mill a season i wouldnt do that deal
The_BiRDS
Jake Westbrook and Kyle Loshe to Mets = Alberts new offer
Chuck Klinger
Something with Matt Thornton and the White Sox?
supersteve1492
how many change of scenary guys do we have? pelfrey, paulino pagan gotta be one of those guys right?
Brad Zicherman
hmm…perhaps with the Tigers…where there is smoke…
Shawnthemon
David Wright for Juan Oviedo
John Papadopoulos
bailey?
CubbieBlueHoosier
I saw change of scenery and I thought maybe, just maybe, Soriano was on his way out. Wishful thinking. Can’t see it happening.
finman84
Change of scenery and a reliever? How about Chone Figgins and Brandon League for David Wright with Seattle picking up a great deal of Figgy’s salary?
mistermonkey
In that case, I’d pity David Wright. Going to another homer killer stadium just when the walls at Citi Field are being moved in! But I don’t see why the Mariners would do that trade…
dylanp5030
Pelfry or Bay?
jjt4444
Jason Bay (and cash) to Seattle for Chone Figgins and one of the Mariners’ young RPs (not Brandon League).
wickedkevin
Bay back to Boston to play RF 😉
baseball52
Alfonso Soriano for Jason Bay?
RobA
For Mets fans sake, hopefully it’s Jon Rauch they’re trading
Zeeshan Merchant
lol
sonofsnake
Figgins and League for Bay…… I swear to god I read all of the other posts on this except the ones that already mention this trade.
jjt4444
I don’t think the M’s will include League in the deal for Bay. League would be the most valueable piece in that trade. Bay+cash/Figgins+RP makes a lot of sense though.
GOTIGERS24
hopefully its to the tigers and they get either daniel murphy or david wright
Garrett Thestutterer Allen
Its not going to be a division trade. i think that Murphy for like a middle reliever guy and a SS, like a Plan B SS guy.
Coollet
AA loves multi team trades
TRS86
I am guessing Bay for Rios and Thornton.
Stache_Money
no way mets take on rios’s contract..
jwsox
bays and rios’ contracts are almost the exact same left
rios ’12 12 mi ’13 12.5mill ’14 12.5mill ’15 13.5 mill club option with 1 mill buy out
Bay ’12 16 mill ’13 16mill ’14 17mill club option 3 mill by out
rios owed 37 mill including by out
bay 35mill including buy out…
DT Flush234
Cardinals will trade Kyle McCellen for Angel Pagan and cash then deal.
bighiggy
that would be jawsome!!!!!
Zebradune
THE METS ARE NOT TRADING DAVID WRIGHT NOW
mgsports
Maybe Matt Garza or Wade Davis or Kevin Youklis?
chemteck29
Gotta be Pelf for Street and another player!
forkball27
I sure hope that it would be Raburn and Pauley to the Mets for Murphy! That would be tremendous for the Tigs!
Kirk Edward Gerwin
I was hoping that as well but we’re not that lucky
Chipper_is_GOD
Now that I think about it?
What about the Cubs and Zambrano, hence “Change of scenery”
Rickey O'Sunnyvale
David Wright for Juan Uribe and Javy Guerra.
oscargamble
I told you to stop drinking.
Pedro 2
Thornton and Gordon Beckham for something?
Angel Becerra
zito and ramirez for bay
vtadave
Carlos Zambrano and Alfonso Soriano plus three Brinks’ trucks full of cash for Mike Pelfrey.
NYCextratickets.com
do you think Soriano can still play 2nd?
GriffeyandSizemore
I’m sure he could play 2nd.. he could possibly also pitch or catch at this state of his career.
John Papadopoulos
haha no.
jwsox
he can hardly play left field
Lastings
Jose Reyes
OhthePossibilities
Simon & Simon for Cagney & Lacey
Triple Hawpes Brewed
Obviously it’s Torres and Ramon Ramirez for Pagan.
Shawnthemon
It has to be Bay
I say its Bay for Soriano and Cashner/Marmol
LeoAcevedo
As a met fan id do wright for gio and bailey , maybe 1 prospect and we throw in murphy
gmen_fever
Im hearing Pagan for Torres and Rameriez from our beat guy. Not confirmed tough
Kirk Edward Gerwin
I’d be for that. Previous reports had the Mets interested in the Tigers Andy Dirks for CF. I would love to see a swap of Dirks + Prospect for Daniel Murphy. Go Tigers!
diehardmets
That would be incredibly dumb on the Mets part.
Kirk Edward Gerwin
Wouldn’t be the first time =)
All Day Réy
People still don’t get that the Mets are not in the Omar Minaya era anymore.
LeoAcevedo
Omg im so anxious . Cant lie
Triple Hawpes Brewed
Don’t be, it’s Torres + Ramirez for Pagan. Nothing to write home about.
Zeeshan Merchant
Just heard it breaking it here
The mets have traded Wright to Angels in a deal involving Wells and Scott Downs
true2lablue
Nope more like Wright to the Dodgers for Ethier & Lindbloom LOL
BobbyJohn
Bay to Colorado for Street and Smith?
Doug Elliott
Bay to Cleveland might make sense.
Freddie Morales
im thinking pagan to giants for torres and ramirez
bighiggy
how about pagan for skip and kyle mcclellan?
Jameson VanDyke
Angels have been linked to the Mets via trade the last few days and Dipoto canceled all his interviews today. Macier/Walden for Wright?
Jameson VanDyke
Especially because ANgels have been linked to League and Madson.
jwsox
gordon beckham+brent morell+one more prospect or two for wright and cash
Joveoak
I, personally, don’t think that the player being traded by the Mets is Murphy (Mets value him too much) or Wright (trade value is too low; if traded it will be at the earliest next season’s trade deadline). The only two players I can think are due a change in scenery are Jason Bay (highly doubtful; he can net more at the trade deadline along with David) and Mike Pelfrey (Mets fans will tell you he can use a change of scenery ASAP).
EDIT: Wow, Pagan is the trade candidate? I’m quite shocked.
MBC
Pagan for Torres and Ramirez saves Mets 2-3 mil. Remember, Pagan was a non-tender candidate due to arbitration raise. Ramirez signed for 1.65 and Torres for 2.2
sf55forlife
torres was also a non tender candidate.
gursk1989
well if that is true,, to say it would SUCK would be an understatement.
DT Flush234
Kyle Mccellen and Jake Westbrook for Angel Pagan and David Murphy and Tim Byrdak then deal.
dc21892
Interesting trade talks.
Matt Manzella
Well that’s not very exciting.
Michael J. Loera
If it is Pagan then that would force Belt and Huff to Platoon at 1st/outfield base because i dont think you’re going to get rid of Nate Shierholtz in right field (defense). Either way i think its a good deal for both teams with the other team (Mets) coming out on the upside, but whats new? Pagan’s obp, and slugging have all gone down the past 3 years. The only thing i find interesting in Pagan is his stolen bases, but how can you steal bases when you dont get on base? Torres and Ramirez are worth more than Angel Pagan but at least the giants are getting SOME offense i guess?
andrewmets9
Dude, take this from a Met fan, Pagan Sucks. Hes a decent defensive player, but he gets hurt A LOT and is very inconsistent. Have fun!
Mike 132
The mets are not trading wright at this moment I can tell you that for sure.. I can see big pelf going Santana going Murphy r.a dickey but not bay. Not when they just moved the fences I’n. And if wright does get traded it won’t be till July
Adam Heath
If you are going to trade for Wright you better start with Top Prospects, not the fringe Major Leaguers most of you are suggesting. Mets are in rebuild mode when it comes to trading, not let’s get by mode.
