Ramirez (elbow) is not viewed as a fit by the Mets, as they still hope to get David Wright (back) in the near term, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports. The Mets had been rumored to be in potential talks to acquire Ramirez, despite his poor season, due to Wright's absence. Heyman also noted that the Mets prefer someone for third base now who could switch positions. That likely would mean someone like Ben Zobrist or Martin Prado, who has flexibility to move around the diamond.
