The New York Mets could still trade Frank Francisco this season.
Francisco wouldn't be eligible for a team's postseason roster, but the veteran reliever could help a new club get there.
The Mets reluctantly brought Francisco back this weekend. He has dealt with an elbow injury this season and the club hasn't been happy with his lack of urgency to return.
Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Las Vegas have been eliminated from the playoffs, giving the Mets few options for Francisco, who is owed $750,000 over the remainder of the season.
