Mike Puma of the New York Post says the Mets are interested in Astros pitcher Roy Oswalt, but are not excited to pay Oswalt’s salary.

Oswalt has already said he’s willing to waive his no-trade clause if he can be dealt to a contender.

Oswalt is currently making $15 million in 2010, $16 million in 2011 and there is a $16 million team option for 2012 with a $2 million buyout. You can see Oswalt’s statistics and contract history here.
