Do It, Kenny! Do it!

From the Newark Star-Ledger:

According to an official with one of the teams involved, the Mets also have asked the White Sox about former Yankees right-hander Jose Contreras, who is signed through 2009. The official, who asked not to be identified because the deals he was talking about are not done, said the Mets would be more likely to give up top minor-league talent for Contreras than they would for Buehrle.

As I said in my previous post, guys with more years on their contracts have more trade value than half a year rentals. If Kenny can trade Contreras to the Mets for Lastings Milledge or a similar prospect, he can give the Contreras's money to Buehrle. This organization has to get over its fear of giving long term contracts to pitchers. Mark Buehrle is more similar to Tom Glavine than Alex Fernandez, and he is only 28 years old. He is hardly and injury risk.
