Buster Olney of ESPN tweets, “An interesting possibility among the starting pitchers that the Mets are considering: Brett Myers, who is having a good season for HOU.”

The 29-year-old right-handed  is 6-6 with a 3.41 ERA in his first season with the Houston Astros. His previous eight seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies could give him an advantage in the NL East and make him more appealing to the Mets.

Earlier today, the Chicago Cubs were to be seriously considering a trade with the Mets for left-handed pitcher Ted Lilly. The Cubs went as far as to scout three Mets’ prospects.
