Mets working on deal with Tigers??

As the Mets hunt for a righthand hitting outfielder, the Mets have made it known to be in the hunt for Ryan Raburn.

Raburn plays all three outfield positions and 2B and 3B.

The Mets are looking to trim the excess right handed bullpen arms and it appears that Brian Stokes will be the one dealt in any deal with the Tigers. The Tigers are in need of bullpen arms due to Joel Zumaya back on the DL.

Another name the Mets might be interested in is Marcus Thames, a power hitting outfielder...
