Jason Isringhausen clarified Sunday that he is not against a trade if it will help the Mets. Izzy was upset, in fact, that his previous quotes made it sound like he was "begging" to not be traded. "I never [bleeping] said one thing about, 'Please don't trade me,' " Isringhausen told the New York Post. "Yeah, I talked to Sandy, but I never once said, 'Please don't trade me.' I said I'd like to stay here. I'd never plead with anyone about staying anywhere." The Mets are likely to shop him later this month and should find plenty of suitors.
