Ignore that rumor started about Coco Crisp heading to the Mets for Angel Pagan.
Theo Epstein, through media relations director John Blake, said that the Red Sox have not been talking to the Mets. That the story was a fabrication.
Meanwhile...the Red Sox are leading 6-5. Sorry for not updating you all, but we (the media) were downstairs talking to David Ortiz and Clay Buchholz. Not sure ...

The left field paradox
theropolitans.com 3/8/2008 — Moises Alou is old. Old and broken. The Mets are in desperate need of a left fielder, and with GM Omar Minaya apparently unwilling to catapult Fernando Martinez from AA to the bigs, the spot can go to any host of players already in camp. The three players who are leading the pack, in order, are Angel Pagan , Endy Chavez and Brady Clark...

Lennon: Add Pagan to the roster

Opinion: I Accept Angel Pagan
metsblog.com 3/11/2008 — … you’re right, David Lennon from Newsday , it’s time i accept Angel Pagan for what he is…he’s earned it, so far…i’m not saying he should be guaranteed an opening day roster spot, just because he is hitting .415 in 13 games this spring, and with ...

Coco Crisp on verge of being traded to Mets?
mvn.com 3/12/2008 — WFAN reports that Coco Crisp could be dealt to the New York Mets rather soon for outfielder Angel Pagan.
The Red Sox would be giving Crisp away on the cheap, but would likely make back what they would lose by not having an unhappy Crisp on the bench.

Coco Crisp To The Mets?
mlbtraderumors.com 3/12/2008 — WFAN out of New York has rumblings about a possible Coco Crisp to the Mets deal, which would involve Angel Pagan . It's not confirmed or official, but it's out there. When I get more I'll update the post.

The LoHud Mets Blog
Not only is Angel Pagan not being traded by the Mets, but I think he’ll start in left field on Opening Day.
I know there is time left, but Moises Alou is out and that leaves Pagan or Endy Chavez.
It’s too soon to be thinking about a trade, but even if they were, Pagan for Coco [...]
Pagan, Crisp Deal Not True —
Hot Foot
Contrary to earlier reports, Matt Cerrone of Metsblog is reporting that people in both organizations have said that the teams have not talked about a deal at all and is completely false. The reported deal would have sent Angel Pagan to the Red Sox in exchange for Red Sox OF Coco Crisp.
Just a Rumor. Would have made no sense to make that deal anyway..

Over the Monster
HT: to Dan Pesce for breaking this one first in the diaries. According to WFAN, Coco may be traded to the Mets with the Mets sending Angel Pagan to Boston. I have to speculate at this point that the disgruntled but diplomatic Crisp we've seen in interviews is not the Coco that the FO has seen behind closed doors. Consider me not pleased if this one goes down, because describing Angel Pagan as ...

Coco A Met? —
Bronx Liaison
Ed Coleman of WFAN just reported the Mets and Red Sox are close to a one-for-one deal involving Coco Crisp and Angel Pagan . This deal doesn't seem to make much sense for either side other than Boston's shedding payroll and paving the way for Jacoby Ellsbury. Crisp is making over $10 million the next two years and though he switch-hits, Coco is much better from the left side. As a result, the ...

Mets Fever
It seems like someone has linked the Mets to almost every right handed corner outfielder in the league. All of which has occurred while Angel Pagan has done everything he can to prove he deserves a spot on the team. In today's game he hit a two run triple and saved a run on a stellar defensive play. Not only is he hitting .412 but has shown great speed (offensively/defensively), defense and ...

FantasyFanatics.com Fantasy Sport Articles
Angel Pagan will get a shot to win a starting position for the New York Mets opening day lineup. With Moises Alou likely to miss two months due to hernia surgery, the 26-year old will have an opportunity to prove to Omar Minaya that there is no need to look elsewhere for a replacement.
Originally drafted in the fourth round by the Mets in 1999, Pagan has failed to hold onto a Major League ...

Angel Pagan does his best Michael Jordan impression, but cannot come up with the baseball as two runs score on the play. Pagan, who is hitting well over .400 during spring training, is my leading candidate to start in left field. (AP Photo/Tony Dejak)

Omar Minaya said that if he pickup another player it would be a part-time right handed player who was an up-grade over Angel Pagan. As I write this Pagan rips a double from the right side off a lefty. Without putting together a significant package the Mets are going to be hard pressed to find a player better then Pagan or Clark for that matter. Everybody wants Nady back (including myself) ...
Part Time player thats better then Pagan —
Mets Fever
Omar Minaya held a press conference that was reported on by Matt Cerrrone of Metsblog. When Omar was asked if he would look to make a trade, he stated that if anything happened it would be towards the end of spring and it would be for a non-regular player that was an up grade over Angel Pagan. The way Pagan has played so far this spring I'm not sure if that's possible. Minaya said, ...
