The Mets will get first baseman/outfielder Xavier Nady in the deal for Cameron.



Newsday reported on its Web site Wednesday that the deal had been agreed to pending a physical to check Cameron's eyesight. Cameron missed much of August and all of September after breaking both cheekbones and his nose in a frightening collision with Carlos Beltran in San Diego last season. Mike Nicotera, the agent for Cameron, says he has no comment, and that he and Cameron will speak when the time is appropriate.

The Padres nearly signed Cameron as a free agent after the 2003 season and still have a need for someone to patrol center field at Petco Park. Cameron won Gold Gloves in 2001 and 2003 playing center field for Seattle

So, does this mean the Pads are going to send Dave Roberts packing?

I'd take Dave Roberts for a minimal cost. I think they hang onto onto him though. I honestly would rather have Roberts over Cameron
