MLB.com's Richard Justice writes that the Mets have "zero interest" in Michael Bourn if it means losing their top draft pick.
The Mets aren't close to winning in the NL East and would have to give up their first-round pick in order to sign Bourn, though the MLBPA could file a grievance that would allow the pick to be protected. CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reported earlier this week that eight different teams could be looking to make a late run at Bourn, including the Mariners, Rays, and Orioles. The Mariners are also barely tied to draft pick compensation at 12th overall
