Mets' Jon Niese reportedly drawing trade interest from Dodgers, Cubs
Just as the New York Mets settle into a six-man rotation again, trade winds that might upset the unorthodox rotation are beginning to pick up.
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that both the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs are interested in acquiring left-hander Jon Niese.

Niese has been hit-or-miss for the Mets since getting off to a good start in the first month of the season.
The 29-year-old has yet to win a game for the team since May 9, when his ERA, which has since increased to 4.12, was at 1.95.
While he holds a 3-7 record on the season, he has given up three or fewer earned runs and pitched at least six innings in each of his last four starts.
