Mets trade Milledge to Nats

The Mets have traded Lastings Milledge to the Nationals for catcher Brian Schneider and outfielder Ryan Church, a baseball official confirmed this afternoon. Milledge was believed to be a major chip in the Mets' pursuit of an elite starting pitcher this offseason, but that apparently was not the case.

Thank you for the link.

Is Lastings Milledge the next coming of Willy Mo Pena?

What a craptastic deal by the Mets!!!

Dola,

We're talking about the same Lastings Milledge that the Mess wouldn't give up for Zito or Oswalt, right?

If so, SWEET!!!

Is it just me or does that trade make no sense for the Mets?

Is Church really that good? I thought he was mediocre at best...

Not sure what this is about
But im very happy

Probably an off the field issue.

Finally ... no more Milledge-plus for Blanton or Haren rumors!

Evidently, the Mets value Carlos Gomez, a superior defensive player, over Milledge. But Gomez could be moved in a deal for a starting pitcher at next week's winter meetings.
Schneider, 31, will now take over in the catching tandem with Ramon Castro, only a week after the Mets traded for Johnny Estrada. Schneider is expected to be a defensive upgrade to Estrada, who is now almost certain to be released but the Mets should try Trade him. Schneider hit .235 with six homers and 54 RBI last season.
Church, 29, will be added to the mix in rightfield. He batted .272 with 15 home runs and 70 RBI in 144 games for the Nationals.
Great Trade for the both Teams.
Milledge gets to play everyday for the Nats know.
