The Mets and Rockies have had brief conversations about a trade that could have involved pitchers Mike Pelfrey and Huston Street. However, New York is not overly enamored with the Colorado closer. The trade also would have been difficult because Street and new Mets bench coach Bob Geren dislike each other from their days with the Athletics. In May, Street told the San Francisco Chronicle that Geren was "my least favorite person I have ever encountered in sports."
