Jon Heyman of ESPN is reporting that
the Mets have shown interest in Jack
Wilson. The Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers are among five
teams other than New York interested in the free-agent. The Mets’ interest lies in
acquiring Wilson as a backup middle-infielder. Should Reyes end up leaving the Mets, they’d undoubtedly have Ruben Tejada fill in at shortstop. But,
should he end up injured, the Mets would be stuck without anybody who knows the
position.
Wilson
would fill this need, especially with his glove; he’s an excellent fielder, which
is what he’s predominantly known for. He would be a good utility player for a
club with holes everywhere, as well as a welcomed veteran on an increasingly
young team.
