Keppinger plays, imminent deals on backburner?

Jeff Keppinger hadn't played the last two games leaving spectulation that he might be on the move to either Kansas City or Pittsburgh. However, in tonight's Norfolk game against Indianapolis Keppinger did in fact play, and he scored two runs and recorded two hits as well. Keppinger, who was reportedly informed that he was involved in a deal with Pittsburgh, may be staying the Mets afterall or maybe a possible team after Keppinger wanted to see him play couple more times before they pull the trigger on a possible deal. Right now the most likely deal is to Kansas City, but it appears that the Mets tried to expand the deal which may or may not of ended talks. Anyways, a trade for a reliever and maybe a prospect or two seems to be in the works, so stay tuned.

By the way, in the aforementioned AAA game Milledge went 2-4 with a triple, and Anderson Hernandez went 3-5 with two runs scored.
