Mets Morning News: Wright Cleared, K-Rod Open To Trade

David Wright was cleared to resume full baseball activity on Thursday. Wright will report to Port St. Lucie, Fla. to begin his rehab stint. It will be several weeks before he can re-join the team.

Francisco Rodriguez told reporters he wouldn't rule out becoming a set up man if he were traded to a contending team like the Yankees.

"If I am going to be traded, obviously I want the opportunity to close out games, but if it's going to be good teams like the Yankees or the Rays, and it's going to be for two months, I can go out there and help them out."

In old Met news, our favorite "habitual liar," John Maine, left the Rockies' Triple-A Colorado Springs Sky Sox Thursday and may retire. After pitching 46 innings, his ERA was up to 7. 43.
