R.A. Dickey's agent would not be surprised if the reigning National League Cy Young winner was traded.

Bo McKinnis has engaged in cordial talks with Mets general manager Sandy Alderson on a possible contract extension, but the team has also been listening to trade offers.

Dickey is signed for 2013 at $5 million.

"It's hard to gauge," McKinnis said. "We have enough of a difference of opinion that if R.A. does get traded, I can't say I would be surprised. I'm not saying that's our first choice, but if it happens, I'm not going to be surprised.

"There will be no hard feelings with it, either. Certainly, if it were to happen, R.A. would like to go to a winning, successful club. But it's just part of the business."
