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. We know that the Mets and Mariners are talking trade. We know the Mariners shopped Figgins before the trade deadline and that he would almost surely clear waivers after the deadline. We know that Fernando Martinez and Ruben Tejada were scratched from their Triple-A lineups without any reason given. Put it all together and we could have a trade brewing. It's possible Luis Castillo and/or Jeff Francoeur could be involved in the deal, as well. Stay tuned.
Just say no New York! Make the M's sit in their own mess. I don't see any benefit for the Mets to do this deal.
