It looks like the Tigers aren’t the only team in the division looking to dump a bad contract or too.  It appears that Dayton Moore has been talking to the Mets about sending Gil Meche and another bad contract (i.e. former Tiger Kyle Farnsworth) to the Mets.  The Royals took a lot of heat for signing Meche to that big multi-year deal and while he probably hasn’t been worth what the Royals have paid, it hasn’t been as bad as most people initially thought.  The deal would probably big Luis Castillo to the Royals, who’s due $12 million total over the next couple of years.  That compares to $24 million over two years for Meche and $4.5 million (not including a $0.5 million 2011 buyout) for Farnsworth if he’s the throw in.
