He just got traded to the Tigers

For cash. Stupid move in my opinion. Why not give a big lefty a chance out of the bullpen in the spring? Ugh.

Mack Ade said...

this is a favor to Detroit that may pay out before the beginning of the season.

The Tigers now owe the Mets "one"

Agreed and Susana, the Mets already have Edgin and perhaps Carson available as young lefties. This pick was never for the mets.
