Ramon Castro Being Shopped

Joel Sherman of NY Post, reports the Mets New York Mets keep trying to find a place to deal Ramon Castro Ramon Castro . They have two reasons: 1) Mainly they want to get rid of his $2.5 million 2009 contract, allowing them a little more available cash to address a righty bat or lefty reliever they crave. 2) They believe that for near minimum wage Robinson Cancel can be just as good a backup to Brian Schneider Brian Schneider as Castro.

I heard the Brewers had some interest, but have mostly backed off of Castro now.

BTW, that Cancel can really move for a big guy. In addition he wears out left hand pitching, which can make for a successful platoon with Schneider.
