FLASH Rumor p Kelly Shoppach

MLB Network's Peter Gammons reports the Mets have considered trading for Kelly Shoppach.

The Red Sox are looking to promote Ryan Lavarnway and likely wouldn't want much in the way of prospects. Shoppach would presumably function in a platoon with Josh Thole if acquired, and serve as an immediate upgrade over Mike Nickeas. The Mets have rumored interest in Ramon Hernandez, but view Shoppach as an alternative, depending on Colorado's asking price.

I would take Stoppach over Hernandez. What do you think it would cost? (McHugh/Olson + Gorski?)

ANd how much MORE would ("I'd like to buy a vowel") Jarrod Saltalamachhia cost?

Neither would cost that much.

You have the range down pat.

BTW - the entire Mets braintrust will be at Monday's Buffalo game.

Plan is both Harvey and Wheeler in Arizona on July 26th and 27th
