No, it wasn't Hanley offered to the Mets, according to the papers here. It was Manny. Nothing personal with Manny---it's just that he has 4 years left on a monster contract.

One of the few things the Mets DON'T need is a shortstop. They shelled out big bucks last year for Kaz Matsui who was a defensive bust. They moved Jose Reyes (great glove, improving at the plate) to 2nd base and put Matsui at short, but he couldn't find 1st base on his throws with a guide dog (throwing to Piazza the first half of the year probably didn't help). The word is that Kaz is moving to 2nd and Reyes is going back to SS.
