Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that the Mets are "suddenly" getting some hits on outfielder Marlon Byrd. The Pirates are one of the teams involved. The Mets have made counter-offers, so it's just a matter of whether someone will be willing to meet their asking price. Byrd has had a nice season with the Mets, but he's an aging player who likely won't be part of the next winning team, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him get moved.
