New York Mets Rumors<\/h1>\n

With the annual Winter meetings producing major news, one team has not made any significant transactions. There is a lot of rumors surrounding the New York Mets<\/a> but so far no action.<\/p>\n

The biggest news to come out of Queens is the pending sale of the Mets to minority owner Steve Cohen. Cohen is a hedge fund billionaire who will certainly make the Mets players with any free agent. But the sale is not official and it has not yet been announced when Cohen will have a say in free agency and team payroll. Fred Wilpon reportedly will still be in charge for the next five years.<\/p>\n

Starling Marte<\/a><\/h2>\n

The one trade rumor that just won’t go away has the Mets looking to add Starling Marte<\/a><\/strong>. The Mets just traded two prospects for Jake Marisnick<\/a><\/strong>. Jon Heyman is reporting that the Mets are still in on Marte despite acquiring Marisnick. Mets fans can only hope that Marisnick is not the answer in centerfield.<\/p>\n

\n

Starling Marte continues to be available. Mets haven\u2019t totally ruled it out even after Marisnick pickup. Will meet here with Pitts.<\/p>\n
