Met Ready To Pull Trigger On Heilman

Ken Davidoff at Newsday writes about the Mets and their willingness to now trade Aaron Heilman:

The most prominent major-leaguer to be traded could be reliever Aaron Heilman, who still has value among opposing teams. The Mets have long held Heilman out of trade discussions, but Minaya clearly wants to pull off a big deal.

"They're going to be active," one official from an American League club predicted of the Mets. "They're going to use those guys as trade chips and try to get some pitchers back."
