The real loser of the Red Sox-Dodgers trade? The Mets!
You know that friend you have who makes everything about them? How, no matter
how attenuated their connection to something going on in the world, they
filter it through their own experiences? Yeah, that’s this Joel Sherman
column about the Red Sox-Dodgers trade:
But in the winner-loser here and now, it is hard to ignore that the biggest
loser was not even directly involved in the trade finalized yesterday. The
biggest loser is the New York Mets. Because the Mets could not get even
enough health and production from Jason Bay and/or Johan Santana to make the
kind of financial reset trade the Red Sox just did by unloading Beckett and
Crawford, in particular.
Sherman goes on to slam the Mets, calling them “losers.” Losers because
they couldn’t unload Bay and Santana. Losers because the Dodgers and Mets
were both financial wrecks a few short months ago but now look at the Dodgers
go. Losers because they are not “energizing the fan base” the way L.A. is
and aren’t freeing up payroll like Boston is.
Which is insane. A salary-dump trade of this magnitude has never, ever
happened in the history of baseball. The Mets were never for sale and the
line of people willing to pay $2 billion and then absorb nearly $300 million
in salaries is non-existent even if they were. And that’s before you note
that the Mets had nothing like Adrian Gonzalez to throw into such a trade to
make it worth the Dodgers’ while.
To rip the Mets for not doing what the Dodgers did here is cheap and silly. It
’s like ripping your kid for not becoming the Dalai Lama. Sure, that kind of
thing happens in the world, but it’s unfair in the extreme to suggest that
there’s something wrong with him for not doing it.
But I guess there’s no hate like Mets hate, so this was probably inevitable.
