With Alou Out, Mets Looking At Ibañez
By Alejandro Leal [July 12 at 10:56am CST]
The possible career-ending injury to Moises Alou means the Mets have to look at the trade market for a replacement, and baseball sources are tellingNewsday's Anthony Rieber the Mariner's Raul Ibañez is a possibility.
Joel Sherman of the NY Post reports that if the Mets are willing to take some money, "they might be able to use a Double-A corner player such as MikeCarp, Nick Evans or [Daniel] Murphy to complete a deal."
Ibañez is in the last year of his contract and can become a free agent next year. The Mariners have the worst record in baseball and are in the cusp of fullsell-mode.
Ibañez has been one the most consistent players in the M's roster, but at 36 and in the current trade market he's more of a commodity than a franchiseplayer.
The Manhattan-native played with Carlos Beltran in Kansas City.
"He's a great guy," Beltran told Rieber. "Love him as a person, as a player. Great guy, great guy. I think he's a great, great player. Aplayer no one really talks about, but he always does his job. Driving in 80, 90, 100 runs, hits 25, 30 home runs, plays hard
hey , eat sum money, and throw in a low prospect 1B..... DO IT OMAR!! Ibanez is so underrated , its not even funny
