Rumors flying around the New York Mets say they might trade Jeff Francoeur before the trade deadline next week.
Is that possible? Yes.
Is it likely? Knowing the Mets, probably not.
Francoeur lost the starting right fielder job to Angel Pagan when Carlos Beltran returned and now is the fourth outfielder.
Francoeur has been a starter since he was single digits in age. He obviously can’t be happy being on the bench now.
If the Mets do trade him, I would hope it would be for a good starting pitcher, such as Roy Oswalt . Chances are, Francoeur won’t be traded though.
