The Mets have checked in on trade talks for Texas right-hander Kevin Millwood, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
The Mets need starting pitching badly, but John Lackey's price tag is going to be too high and they've already missed out on Randy Wolf. Trading for a starter, then, does make some sense. Millwood finished the '09 season with a 13-10 record, a 3.67 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP over 31 starts. He'd make a nice fit, but is going to require a decent batch of prospects and is set to earn $12 million in 2010. GM Omar Minaya and Co. may need to target guys less expensive guys like Doug Davis, Jon Garland and Jason Marquis.
