Costly Cab Ride
Duaner Sanchez is out for the season after getting injured in a taxi-cab accident:
Sanchez, 26, apparently was injured while riding as a passenger in a taxicab that was involved in a car accident Sunday night after the Mets landed in Miami. He returned to New York to undergo surgery on Monday.
The Mets already had been looking for bullpen help, and their search intensified in the final hours before Monday's 4 p.m. non-waiver trade deadline. Mets GM Omar Minaya was on the phone early Monday morning contacting other clubs about relievers who might be available.
That puts a little more pressure on the Mets. Let's hope Sanchez can make a full recovery. Stay tuned for news on the trade front here.
