Jeff Francoeur’s days in a Mets uniform could be numbered.
According to an industry source, the team is trying to trade the right fielder, and could have a deal in place by the time the Mets finish their series in Los Angeles this weekend.
Francoeur would welcome a trade, according to a person friendly with the right fielder, if it gave him a chance to play every day.
Hey, that’d be great. Who wouldn’t like to see the Mets and Frenchy end their relationship amicably? Francoeur goes someplace to show off his durability and arm, the Mets part ways with a player rendered extraneous by superior outfielders.
When the Mets start their regulars these days, their bench includes two catchers, a lefty pinch-hitter who can’t really play the field, a right-handed “hitter” who can only play right field and Alex Cora. It doesn’t allow for a whole lot of maneuvering.
Parting ways with Francoeur would allow the team a little flexibility to install a more versatile righty bat on the bench, which might be valuable enough to the team to mitigate all the beat-writer heartbreak.
The question is, what team is going to give Frenchy the opportunity to play every day? He was pretty much the worst starting right fielder in baseball this season, so which club feels it can upgrade with Francoeur in its lineup?
No clue. But if the Mets can get something of even marginal value back from that team for a corner outfielder with a .673 OPS, then, well, do it.

The Phillies seem to be pretty dissatisfied with Werth right now; maybe a Minaya-Amaro union could net the Mets a better right-fielder with a better beard?
If Omar is offered a bag of batting practice baseballs and a half eaten ham sandwich, he should immediate call no-takebacks and accpet the deal.
To be fair, the inclusion of the baseballs is negotiable.
If that deal were on the table, Minaya would waffle over whether or not to ask for mustard with the sandwich, then he’d take it back to the rest of the front office for discussion, Ricco would demand mayo, and then by the time they actually settled on a dressing, the other team would have just up and finished the sandwich.
Probably true. Of course, it would avoid the important question of whether Jerry would even let the sandwich out of its container.
Jerry would do better work with a 6-foot hero. He’d eat the first four feet in about 20 minutes. And be shocked he got sick. Then he wouldn’t touch the next two feet for a month, then try to eat it and be shocked when it didn’t taste good.
I think what’s most important here is to note how this conversation came back to sandwiches. It’s like we almost can’t escape now haha
But then he would want the lettuce to sacrifice the mustard to the other side of the ham with 1 bite left
