MIAMI — Roy Oswalt’s name is out there as a potential reinforcement for a team in need of pitching help, but don’t expect the Mets to inquire.

Oswalt, the Astros right-hander, recently said he’s willing to waive his no-trade clause if Houston wants to deal him. But Oswalt is making $15 million this season – a number that does not excite the Mets.

The team is reluctant to eat the $1.8 million remaining on Gary Matthews Jr., contract, making it unlikely that GM Omar Minaya would inquire about Oswalt – especially with Citi Field attendance down 6,852 fans from last season.
