Vinnie Pestano - R - Cleveland Indians
Dec. 4, 2012 - 11:30 AM ET
ESPN New York's Adam Rubin reports that the Mets are interested in trading for Indians' reliever Vinnie Pestano.
The asking price figures to be pretty high, as Pestano isn't even arbitration-eligible yet. Quickly emerging as one of the better set-up men in the game, 27-year-old right-hander posted a 2.57 ERA and 76/24 K/BB ratio over 70 innings this past season. The Mets have also asked the Rays about the availability of Joel Peralta, but the price is similarly steep.
