Matthew Cerrone at Mets Blog relays word that SI.com’s Jon Heyman said on WFAN yesterday that the Mets and Tigers are discussing a trade that would send Marcus Thames to the Mets for Jorge Sosa.

Thames had 18 HR and batted .241 last year for the Tigers in 86 games, playing 37 games in left field and 33 games at first base.

Seems like he would be decent backup for Alou and Delgado. Doesn’t hit for much average but has some pop in his bat.
