Are the Mets going to make a blockbuster trade??

Yesterday, it was quoted by COO Jeff Wilpon during the Citi-Field media tour that Omar Minaya has been working the phones with other GM's to work out trades and such.

He also mentioned that the Mets do not have a budget or particular number that Omar is shooting for (which I don't believe). Does that mean that besides trading the likes of Aaron Heilman, Scott Schoeneweis, and Luis Castillo, are we in the mist of seeing a blockbuster trade in the works? Or is this all smoke and mirrors and the Mets will just make some minor adjustments.

We can now count out the Javier Vazquez deal as he is on his way to Hotlanta. There has been many talks about the Rays moving either Jackson or Sonnenstein, but that would require the Mets to move Ryan Church plus Heilman. If that happened, it would almost guarantee that Bobby Abreu or Raul Ibanez would in right field in 2009.

The Houston Astros are looking to cut some loose change from their payroll and their has been talks around Jose Valverde and Ty Wigginton. The Mets can also take a look into Carlos Lee, who is making around 75 Million over the next 4 years. Maybe the poorly run Astros would take a package to get his large body and salary out of  Houston.

Then you have the Rockies, who would like to dish off  Huston Street. The Mets would like him to set the table for the next closer that they sign. The Rockies would like Heilman and Feliciano in return for Street.  Maybe the Mets might end up giving up Schoeneweis, instead of  Feliciano. That would rid them of two headaches and would also mean the Mets would have to get something more than just Street. Plus the Mets would have to fill a lefthander void in their pen.

All in all, I hope it will be a interesting couple of days at the baseball winter meetings. I'd like to see the Mets do something  no one has been talking about or rumored.
