Mets Ask About Nady

Dejan Kovacevic at The Post Gazette writes about the Mets inquary of Xavier Nady:

The New York Mets, in need of a corner outfielder after learning they will be without Moises Alou for two months because of hernia surgery, have contacted the Pirates to inquire about Xavier Nady, a team source said yesterday. But there is no indication anything substantive is afoot or even likely.

The Pirates would seek prospects in any Nady trade, probably pitchers, and the Mets' system is not rich in that regard. Moreover, the Pirates see Nady's value rising over the summer if he can show he is healthy.
