The Royals have already been identified as one of the six or seven teams
interested in executing a trade for the Mets’ R.A. Dickey. Now we can
identify another.
From MLB.com’s T.R. Sullivan comes word that the Rangers are also very
interested in acquiring Dickey and plan to meet with the Mets at the annual
Winter Meetings this week in Nashville, Tennessee.
Dickey was drafted 18th overall by the Rangers back in 1996 and spent close
to 10 years in their system before fizzling out and then reinventing himself
as a knuckleballer. Now 38 years old, he posted a 2.73 ERA and 230/54 K/BB
ratio across 233 2/3 innings in 2012 on the way to winning the NL Cy Young
Award.
Dickey is under contract at a salary of $5 million in 2013. He will be a free
agent after that.
The Mets are said to seeking a catcher and outfield help in a return package.
