Mets On Dye's No-Trade List

-MLB.com's Scott Merkin says that the Mets and Phillies are two of the six teams on Jermaine Dye's no-trade list. The Reds aren't one of those teams, so maybe a trade could be facilitated.

"The Mets think that's too high of a price to pay for a guy in Street who might not even be their closer by the time the season starts." Said the Post.
