Metsblog is following this closely and its indicated that Phil Humber is the player being offered. Matt believes that the second prospect comes from a lst that includes Kevin Mulvey and Mike Carp.

As Humber has been held from his start this afternoon, its obvious he’s part of discussions and some team wants him for an ML start this week. Cordero will be an excellent set-up man for Wagner this season and has already shown he can pitch in New York by his lights out performances at Shea.

His acquisition gives the Mets that “perception” gain they need to match what the Braves are doing.

I really don’t think this is all Minaya is doing, though. With the Mets hurting for centerfielders, he might be looking to add one. Brad Wilkerson has been mentioned from Texas. I’ve been wondering whether or not the Mets might be interested in getting Reggie Sanders to upgrade against left handed pitching.
