The NY Post is reporting that the Mets were close to obtaining Roy Oswalt from the Astros late Sunday in a 3 way deal that also involved Miguel Tejada of the Orioles. Apparently the chances of the trade being consummated were already waning when Omar Minaya got word of Sanchez' injury, which changed the Mets priorities completely.
It's a shame Sanchez got hurt. Oswalt, Pedro, Glavine and El Duque would have given the Mets a chance to win the Series. But, as I said yesterday, it's also good Sanchez didn't get hurt today. With Hernandez in the mix, I like our chances to get to the Series.

The only issue with Oswalt is he only plans on pitching another season or two, then retiring.
apparently he's a big outdoorsman, fisherman type who's pitching long enough to make the necessary money to complete his huge ranch in Alabama.
Would've been nice to have him until then, though...
I'm sorry, did you say "problem"? If I'd known that, I would have offered Reyes & Wright for him too.
