Yahoo! Sports: MLB - Mets turns down Sheffield trade proposal
It sounds like the Sheriff is getting a bit uppity, and may be teetering on the edge of delusion. This could also be part of the PR mill that the Mets are running. Remember their "insulting/negotiating strategy" with A-Rod. A more likely scenario is that Phillips either doesn't have the horses or doesn't want Sheffield and is covering his behind. Or he is throwing the Braves off the scent.
Also, the Boss is playing it close to the vest. I agree with this writer. Why would you want to replace Shane Spencer or Paul O'Neill with Gary Sheffield's bat. He has been putting up inflated numbers in hitter haven Chavez Ravine for the last two years.
I still think the Yanks are the most likely scenario, though let's hope that Malone asks for Jeter or Williams.
