How much to go young?



According to Jayson Stark the Mets' have expressed an interest in Randy Winn. The primary hurtle is that Winn is under contract for over $8MM next year. Any deal is based on how much off that contact would the Giants be willing to pick up.

The other New York team have been reported to be scouting Bengie Molina since Jorge Posada's shoulder injury is a major concern as the look to the stretch run. Like Winn, Molina is signed through next season. Plus the Giants are not thrilled with either teams farm systems, especially now that it was cherry picked by Pittsburgh in the Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte trade on Friday. When mentioning the Yankees, how fun is it to think about Barry Bonds in the Bronx; however unlikely.

The Marlins and Cardinals are reportedly interested in Jack Taschner. While Tampa Bay is a potential contender for Tyler Walker.
