Huston Street is changing his tune in regards to Bob Geren. The pair had a poor relationship in Oakland, but now the Padres reliever is being linked to the Mets, where Geren is a bench coach. Street called Geren a "good man" and even partly blamed himself for their obvious differences while with the Athletics. The right-hander once told the San Francisco Chronicle that Geren was "my least favorite person I have ever encountered in sports from age 6 to 27." "If I get to the Mets, that'll be the first bug I go squash," Street said in reference to trade rumors and his relationship with Geren.
