Well, then, Hendry should just keep on trying. I think he'd be a good fit over there in Flushing.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Earlier this off-season, the Mets had the opportunity to trade Aaron Heilman for a 30-year-old pitcher who's averaged 32 starts and 13 wins for the past five years while his teams won four division titles and a World Series. As part of the deal, the Chicago Cubs were willing to pay part of the pitcher's $9.875 million salary in 2009, the year before he became a free agent.
But the Mets passed on the deal because they were trying to use Heilman in other deals (for bullpen help) and because they didn't think Jason Marquis was better than what they have in their projected 2009 rotation.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--> link

It's pretty unbelievable to me that nobody wants Marquis for $5-6 million a year. He must be an absolute prick.

I would think he'd be valuable in the middle or back of someone's rotation for 5-6 million. Seems peculiar.
Who's your daddy?

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Marquis-Heilman trade unlikely to happen
Tuesday, December 9, 2008 | Print Entry Posted by Jayson Stark The Mets and Cubs have discussed a trade that would send pitcher Jason Marquis to New York for reliever Aaron Heilman. But chances of that deal happening appeared slim Tuesday. The Mets are looking to move Heilman because they're concerned about whether he can still pitch in New York. The Cubs need to trade Marquis to clear money for the acquisition of a left-handed hitter and a possible deal for Jake Peavy. But Marquis' $9.875 million salary was too hefty for the Mets' liking. And while the Cubs have expressed willingness to eat some of that money, the teams have been unable to agree on a figure acceptable to both sides. Heilman had some appeal to the Cubs because he went to Notre Dame. And Marquis was a potential fit because he grew up in New York and has expressed interest in the past in playing there.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
