"Colorado countered by saying it would do a trade if the Mets sweetened the offer by making it Heilman and Pedro Feliciano, since the Rockies are hungry to add a lefty reliever. The Mets refused. But they know that deal is out there if they need to come back to it."

"The Mets and Tampa Bay have had preliminary discussions about the Rays' pitching depth, notably Nos. 4 and 5 starters Andy Sonnanstine and Edwin Jackson."

"The Rays do not believe the Mets have the pieces necessary to pry one of the four starters projected to front Tampa's rotation in 2009: Scott Kazmir (remember him, Mets?), James Shields, Matt Garza and David Price."

"Tampa continues to have interest in Aaron Heilman, but not to the extent it had in the past"

I doubt we will go for Heilman because we are about to sign Embree

It likely won't matter. Embree fills a lefty specialist slot. Heilman's role is different.

Shields wasn't even the talks for Heilman -- Jackson and Sonnanstine, but those talks have basically ceased.

He's not strictly a "LOOGY" (lefty one out guy), but he is a lefty specialist. He tends to average less than an inning per outing.

Ok I get what you are saying now.
