Today the new GM of the Mets announced a blockbuster trade with the Chicago Cubs. The New York Mets sent Carlos Delgado to the Cubs and in return recieve Alfonso Soriano, Felix Unknown, and Eric Patterson. Felix will start the year in AAA and play RF. Patterson will most likely start in AA ball and be a utility INF.
The Mets also traded elder statesman Moises Alou to the Dodgers for starting pitcher Brad Penny. Penny will help solidify an already good pitching staff.
And the third trade of the day for Mr. Philipp saw Chan Ho Park going to the White Sox in exchange for John Danks and Jerry Ownes, both will start the year in AAA.
When asked about the sudden and abrupt movement of players, Keith responded by saying, " I addressed some issue we had last season and hopefully these move work out for the best."
