The Dodgers are paying over 50% of the contract. In order to get rid of the guy they had to pay a good chunk of it. If the Mets truly wanted to trade Castillo to a team that was semi-interested, the Mets would offer to take a chunk of the salary. Then you could get maybe a few minor leaguers like was done in this deal. See Mets? See how you do it? Although if Castillo performs like he did last year I don't see that much of an issue. As you said, there are far greater issues that need to be addressed than a new second basemen. The only thing I would ask the Mets to do with this trade is to see how it is done.

I don't know what it is with Mets fans. Every time a player signs or gets traded to another team we blew it and should have gotten him. Perhaps the organization decided they don't need an expensive, aging bench warmer who is a dime a dozen. We bemoan signing Alex Cora and then we urge them to sign guys like this? We can't have it both ways. Phil, your last sentence was the best observation. I don’t know what it is with Mets fans.
