The Mets appear to be shopping R.A. Dickey around, and there is no shortage of interested parties.

The Blue Jays, Orioles and Rangers were all in “intense trade talks” for the Cy Young winner on Thursday, according to the New York Daily News. Toronto is seen as the likeliest destination.

Sources: Intense trade talks yesterday regarding Dickey, with Texas, Toronto and, hey now, Baltimore being serious players.

Some people I talk to are indicating Toronto more likely than Texas or Baltimore for Dickey. I do not think any deal is done.
