The Mets are interested in Nationals closer Chad Cordero and second baseman Ron Belliard, and two Nats scouts watched the Mets' Class AA Binghamton affiliate over the weekend.
Cordero could be the right-handed setup man for Mets closer Billy Wagner, and Belliard could replace Jose Valentin, who suffered a broken leg Saturday night at Dodger Stadium.
However, the Mets — like many clubs — say that Bowden sets unrealistic targets in trade discussions, making it difficult to complete deals.
The Mets would not trade outfielder Lastings Milledge, whom they will control through at least 2012, for Cordero, who is eligible for free agency after the '09 season.
