The Mets have not given up on getting a big name reliever via a trade, Daily News reporter Kristie Ackert reemphasized Wednesday afternoon. According to Ackert, the big name on the Mets front office’s mind is the White Sox’s David Robertson. While they haven’t made a strong push for the righty yet, they haven’t ruled out the possibility either.
Back towards the end of November, we looked at a possible trade scenario between the Amazin’s and Chicago that involved Robertson. New York would send over Jay Bruce, and help the White Sox out with their need for a power-hitting outfielder, while they would in turn send David Robertson to Queens.
