Could Arizona Deal Byrnes To Mets?

Sep 30, 2008 5:08 PM EST

The Diamondbacks could look to trade outfielder Eric Byrnes this winter, and the Mets could be a likely destination.

Byrnes is owed $22 million over the next two years, and they could deal him from another bad contract, like that of New York's Luis Castillo.

The second baseman is owed $18 million through 2011.

Webb Wins No. 22, D'Backs Inch Closer

Sep 23, 2008 7:00 AM EST

Brandon Webb won his 22nd game of the season on Monday night as the Diamondbacks inched closer to the Dodgers in the NL West race, according to MLB.com.

"It's amazing," Webb said of his win total, the most since Dontrelle Willis also won 22 back in 2005. "I would never have dreamed to have done this. It's a big number, and I've still got one more, and I'm not going to be satisfied until the season is over and we get into the playoffs. So we're going to still keep working."

Arizona is two games behind Los Angeles for first place in the NL West and is not in the Wild Card picture, meaning the division title is their only chance to make the postseason.
