The Mets and Mariners have been very involved in trade discussions, and Chone Figgins could be the main piece of property that's moved in any deal. This is mainly piecing a few things together to try to see what fits at this point. It is known that the Mets and Mariners are talking trade. It is known that the Mariners shopped Figgins before the trade deadline and that he would almost surely clear waivers after the deadline. With Fernando Martinez and Ruben Tejada being promoted to the major's, it could mean that Luis Castillo or Jeff Francoeur could be involved in the deal.
Opinion - Chone Figgins is an interesting proposition for the Mets. I like what he can bring to the ball club, but he is already 32 years of age and if this season was any indication of what is in store for the future, it seems as if he is on the decline. Does ownership really want to risk taking on a contract with over 3 years and $27 Mil? It would be a big risk for a team who has given out several bad contracts the last few years. Stay tuned.
