Well, there goes that option. If the Mets want to make a trade, it won’t be for Mark DeRosa.
The New Jersey native was sent from the Cleveland Indians to the St. Louis Cardinals for pitcher Chris Perez and a player to be named later.
Shucks.

“Their big guy was very good.”Game Recap: Yankees 9 – Mets 1
Slppy. Slopy. Lopy. Sloppy.
The New York Yankees (40-32) beat the New York Mets (37-34) by a score of 9-1.
Three errors led to two unearned runs off of Mike Pelfrey, who surrendered four runs total over five innings. Pat Misch pitched well for his 1 1-3 innings on the mound. Elmer Dessens escaped trouble in the seventh, then surrendered two home runs in the 8th inning.
Bobby Parnell got one out, but also balked and threw a wild pitch. Sean Green allowed two runs on three hits in mop-up duty.
Overall, not a great night for the Mets pitchers.
Also, not a great night for the Mets batters.
The Mets managed just three hits and CC Sabathia carried a perfect game into the fifth inning. Gary Sheffield broke up the bid with a solo home run to deep left field. Sheffield now leads the Mets in home runs with nine.
That says something when a 40-year-old outfielder who doesn’t play everyday leads your team in home runs. Yeesh!

Niese improving at Triple-A
After an abysmal start to the 2009 season and a call-up to the Major Leagues, Jon Niese has been impressing at Triple-A Buffalo.
Last night, in the 7th inning of his start, his consecutive scoreless innings streak was snapped by a sacrifice-fly. The streak ran 24 1-3 innings.
Niese is 3-0 over his last three starts and has a 1.03 ERA over his last four, according to Joel Sherman.
With John Maine and Oliver Perez on their way back to the major leagues and decent starting pitching already on the roster, this logjam is a great problem to have.

17-year-old Wilmer Flores and 19-year-old Jenrry Mejia will play in the Futures Game in St. Louis on July 12.
Flores is playing his first full professional season this year. Mejia was recently promoted to Double-A Binghamton and was rumored to hit 102 mph on the gun in his last start.
