Apparently, we had a chance to unload Heilman on the Cubbies.
Omar was approached with an offer to send Heilman to Chicago and in return the Mets would get Jason Marquis, with the Cubs picking up about $4 mil of the $9.675m or so he's owed for next season.
I really don't understand this--turning down a chance to get rid of dead wood and pick up a solid back-of-the-rotation arm? Marquis is one of only 6 pitchers or so to record 10 or more wins in each of the last 6 seasons (or so they said on the FAN during the game he tripled and killed the Mets--didn't seem right to me, but what do I know?).
Anyways, I'm hearing noise that Omar may be packaging Heilman and Feliciano to the Rockies for Huston Street, who will either serve as a set-up man to K-Rod or Fuentes, or split closer responsibilities with Trevor Hoffman (a move that seems to be picking up steam).
