Cleveland got EXCELLENT return on a simple rental. Since Milwaukee is a small market team with no postseason appearances since 1982, you could venture to guess that a bigger team with more expectations would lay out a similar or potentially superior return.
Would someone like Niese give up that much as a rotation member when you consider that they could get more for Perez NOW than the draft picks from the end of the year?
Additionally - he might favor the Padres, and, as a crappy team, the Mets wouldn't get their first rounder. I'd rather they get 2 C prospects and a B+ NOW than the Padres #2 and a compensatory pick later. |
I really don't see this front office trading a starting pitcher at this point in the season. They will say how close they are and they like the team as it is and once they get alou...blah blah blah. The right move would be to go ahead and trade him. Trade him to a contending team.
