Brandon Eddy over at MetsBlog writes that the Diamondbacks may look to deal Eric Byrnes in the offseason.
I’m not sure I believe it, since they just signed him to a long term deal, however if there is a chance to get him the Mets should be looking to make a deal.
He the epitome of what we here at Hot Foot stand for and look for in our players which is intensity, an ability not to take oneself too seriously, and a pure love of the game. He also fits the mold of the type of player the Mets lack, someone who will be a vocal leader and motivate the guys who lead more by example when the chips are down.
He’s the hard nosed clubhouse general with a healthy sense of humor that the Mets need. I think he would fit in to the Mets clubhouse perfectly and his media savvy make him a gold mine in New York.
I’ll even walk his dog, Bruin, but Eric you gotta be more careful about letting him swim in rough waters during All Star Game telecasts.
