Report: No progress with trade talks for Mets' Bartolo Colon
Tap here to access our MLB Trade Tracker which includes all trades and rumors leading up to the July 31 trade deadline.
There were plenty in attendance to watch New York Mets right-hander Bartolo Colon pitch into the eighth inning for his 10th win of the season Monday night, but that doesn't mean trade talks are intensifying.
"Absolutely nothing" doing on Colon trade talks at moment, per source. Chance that changes later in week, but nada at present.

The Mets' 7-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies was Colon's final chance to impress scouts in advance of Thursday's non-waiver trade deadline. They will now be taking information back to their respective brain-trusts to study the 10 hits he allowed.
Representatives of the Toronto Blue Jays, St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates and Atlanta Braves were there to watch the rotund hurler and his counterpart, A.J. Burnett.
