Lil Bit Special Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 http://www.metsblog.com/2008/12/11/starting-pitcher-cubs-and-mets-talking-marquis/ Jon Heyman of SI.com believes the Cubs and Omar Minaya are discussing a trade that would send starting pitcher Jason Marquis to the Mets.\ Heyman feels the Mets should send reliever Scott Schoeneweis to the Cubs, who are offering to pay a portion of Marquis’s $9–million salary in 2009, after which he will be a free agent. According to published reports, over the last day or so, the Mets rejected a deal from the Cubs that would have swapped Marquis for Aaron Heilman, who was traded last night to the Mariners for J.J. Putz. The 30–year-old Marquis has won at least 10 games and pitched at least 190 innings in each of the last five seasons, while posting a 4.58 ERA, during which opponents hit .261 against him.

JohnnyHector Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I don't love him, but he's a better option than Niese or Parnell at this point. However, he's clearly a back-of-the-rotation guy and they still need to add another good SP to the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As inconsistant as Ollie was I'd like to see him back in orange and blue next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
