Guillen an option for Mets OF?

File this under "things that make you go hmmmmm."

(Did I just reference C&C Music Factory? Oh, yeah.)

According to ESPN deportes, Royals outfielder Jose Guillen is extremely unhappy in Kansas City and is not even on speaking terms with manager Trey Hillman, and he wants out. Right. Now.

He is reportedly even willing to defer his 2009 and 2010 salary if it helps him get out of Dodge. He signed a three-year, $36 million deal in the offseason and is upset that the Royals have not made more of an effort to build a team that could contend within that window.

So there is your right-handed left fielder, Mets fans. Sure, Guillen can be volatile, but he plays hard and the Mets clubhouse isn't exactly filled with dynamite. And with Ryan Church still a huge question mark -- despite what Tatis is doing -- Guillen could be a nice addition down the stretch who may not cost the Mets much considering the state of the Royals and their clubhouse.

Like I said, Hmmmmmmm.
