Speaking at the ninth annual "21 Days of Clemente" in New York, honoring the late Roberto Clemente, Mets general manager Omar Minaya told NY Sports Day [1] that his team is, indeed, still interested in free agent outfielder Matt Holliday, as well as Jason Bay. "We are pursuing Matt Holliday," Minaya said. "It seems to be easier to make a deal for Jason Bay." It appears the St. Louis Cardinals have made the biggest push to sign Holliday, although according to ESPN.com if that plan falls through the Cards would turn their attention to pitching rather than make a run at Bay. In other Hot Stove news, the Chicago Tribune is reporting [2] that the Yankees may have interest in free agent outfielder Jermaine Dye.
