Bob Nightegale of USA Today says, “Ben Sheets is starting to attract strong interest, if the A’s indeed decide to move him.”

Opinion: I have been forever intrigued with Ben Sheets ever since he become a free-agent. I always loved his "stuff." He has a plus fastball and when its on, a dominating curveball. I always thought that he was a guy that the Mets should take a risk on. I believe he is a low risk high reward option. I feel that the Mets should strongly consider making a deal with the A's.
