NEW YORK -- Gary Sheffield is staying with the New York Mets. Billy Wagner, however, could soon be headed to another team.

Sheffield and general manager Omar Minaya confirmed Friday that they met the previous day to discuss the outfielder's status. Minaya told Sheffield another club had placed a waiver claim on him, but the GM pulled Sheffield back off waivers rather than let him go or work out a deal to trade him.

Minaya wouldn't reveal which club wanted Sheffield, but the GM said he decided the Mets weren't offered enough in return to make a trade worthwhile.

The Red Sox claimed Wagner off waivers, an MLB source told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney Friday.

The Mets have until early Tuesday afternoon to work out a deal. The Red Sox would have to assume about $3.5 million still owed to Wagner. If no deal is consumated, the Mets can either allow Wagner to leave on the claim or pull him back off waivers. If the Mets pull Wagner back, they would no longer be able to trade him this season.

Might as well sign Barry if they want Sheffield.

That was a gift. Helton should have been called out on strikes.

Velez sucks as a defender.

Velez is the slowest "fast man" in the league.

 

[paul is on tilt]

Velez gave me a scare with the way he caught that fly ball.

 

[franchise 55]

^ Me too. Kind of reminded me of the way Barry used to catch fly balls back in the day.
