While the Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays slug it out for baseball supremacy, the rest of baseball -- including $2.13 billion worth of New York basebal1 -- are instead discussing trades, contracts, free agents and other personnel changes to help their team become a contender next season.

How do the Mets and Yankees become World Series-caliber clubs?  The formula is different for every team. One might need an ace, while the other might require a powerful left-handed bat to balance its lineup. Many fans clamor for an “in-your-face” manager, and others want a general manager who can wave an abacus at a club's roster and transform it immediately.

When A Ballplayer Becomes A Fan
Mets
Written by Jimmy Scott   
Wednesday, 22 October 2008
There comes a time when a baseball player, i.e. me, needs to transition from baseball player to fan. At the end of a season it happens, when other teams are still playing and I'm home on the couch thinking about Entenmann's chocolate chip cookies. It also happens when a player is done, his career is over, and he must, as there is no other choice, switch sides and become a regular civilian again. Both of these scenarios are bound to happen. I just hope every year that they don't happen to me.

Mets

Tuesday, 21 October 2008
Despite a monumental collapse in 2007, the New York Mets did make a few good moves that season.  Trading a pair of prospects Drew Butera and Dustin Martin) to the Twins for Luis Castillo was one of them.  The veteran second baseman hit .296 with an impressive .371 OBP in 50 games after the trade.  However, despite only the Houston Astros mentioned as possible suitors for Castillo's services following the season, the Mets outbid themselves horribly and signed him to a four-year deal.  Now after a season of ineffectiveness, injury and sensitivity to the rowdy Mets' fan base, the Mets are trying to deal an untradeable player.
