Perrotto's Latest: Dye, Jenks, Werth, Madson

By Tim Dierkes [December 4, 2008 at 8:25am CST]

THURSDAY: David Lennon of Newsday talked to a source who said there's "nothing there" in regard to the rumor of a Dye and Jenks to the Mets blockbuster. Joel Sherman talked to a few Mets officials who called the rumor nonsense. Sherman says Martinez is "all but untouchable."

WEDNESDAY: Let's dig into the latest column from John Perrotto of Baseball Prospectus.

Perrotto speaks of whispers of a possible White Sox-Mets blockbuster. The Mets would receive Jermaine Dye and Bobby Jenks and the White Sox would receive Fernando Martinez among others.
Regarding the Orioles' possible involvement in a trade that would send Jake Peavy to the Cubs, Perrotto says Baltimore seeks Ronny Cedeno and Felix Pie from Chicago.
Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. has spoken to outfielder Jayson Werth and setup man Ryan Madson about contract extensions. Madson might be a tough one as he's represented by Scott Boras (who recently compared him to Mariano Rivera). Both players are under team control for one more season.
The Red Sox are considering free agents Willie Bloomquist, Jay Payton, and Mark Loretta as possible bench additions. A return to Boston seems to be Payton's preference.
Perrotto believes the only player seriously considering accepting arbitration is Darren Oliver. Oliver's already seen the Reds drop out of the mix due to the draft pick price.
Perrotto says the Tigers and Orioles are showing interest in Jack Wilson, while the Dodgers have backed off.

"K-Rod consistently posts a better ERA, throws more innings, and has a sparkling track record. He's younger and won't cost the Mets anything more than cash and a draft pick. That's a heck of a lot better than trading off one or two of their only remaining top prospects."

I agree K-Rod is better, but is one year in age really that big of a difference? Jenks' 28 to Rodriguez' 27 next year really isn't that different.

In Kenny Williams I TRUST!!!!

He has done a marvelous job and will continue to do so!! I would hate to see DYE and JENKS leave because they are truly respected and fan favorites, but I understand why they would go. I don't think Pelfry would be included but I could see Heilman along with the named prospects that we have been chatting about.
