Rockies Sign Embree, Talks for Street Continue

Now that the Mets have the closer role filled with K-Rod, they will move to looking for a set-up man. At the top of the list is former closer Huston Street.

Street is currently a member of the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies needed a left-handed relief pitcher and were interested in Pedro Feliciano as mentioned in an earlier post.

Well, Colorado has agreed to a two year deal with left hander Alan Embree. I assume they won't be needing Feliciano anymore, but that's alright because Omar Minaya didn't want to include him in the deal anyway.

So now Minaya will have to package Aaron Heilman with a prospect to get Street. Rumors suggest that Minaya wants to include someone like Mike Carp, but the Rockies prefer Nick Evans.
