In a recent article on MLB.com, Adam McCalvy notes that four teams have made offers for Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Derrick Turnbow, who was recently cut by the team The Mets were not one of the teams despite recent reports.

Failing to find equal value in a trade, the Brewers have placed him on irrevocable waivers in an effort to get him to the minors.

What could the Brewers really be asking in return for Turnbow? Since 2005, he has fallen off the face of the earth with a 6.15 ERA in 130.2 innings pitched. I think I’ll pass on Turnbow. While Jorge Sosa and Aaron Heilman have had a shaky start, I’d rather save the trading chips that the Mets still have for a more valuable need and not a gamble llike Turnbow.
