Green deal could be done

Adam Rubin at The NY Daily News writes about the Shawn Green deal that could go down:

The Mets have spent plenty of green putting this year's NL-East leading team together. It's possible they could add a little more green to the roster.

The East Valley (Ariz.) Tribune reported that the Diamondbacks planned to approach outfielder Shawn Green to waive his no-trade clause to be dealt to the Mets.

A Met insider suggested that while the deal is "out there," it is not close to happening.
Green, who will make $9.5 million next year and has a mutual option of $10 million for 2008, told the paper that he would seriously weigh the move if and when it happens.

"I'd have to consider it, if it is something that comes to fruition," said Green, who played with Carlos Delgado in Toronto, and, according the paper, had Delgado in his wedding party. "There has been speculation all season. I don't pay attention to it."

If the deal did happen, Green, who has 10 home runs, 49 RBI and is hitting .281 this season, would be an upgrade in right, as rookie Lastings Milledge has struggled since he was recalled after Xavier Nady was shipped to Pittsburgh.
