Gonna be even more wrong when Kimbrel strikes out Uribe to win the play-in game this year.
How freaken poetic would that be? Then Freddi could get fired afterwards.
Alberto Callaspo Possibly Being Traded

Yep, you're getting paid the same and you're going to a WS contender. Shouldn't be anything to think about.

The thought is giving me PTSD (Pre-Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Right after Fredi says he prefers Kimbrel to his relievers.
Just skimming the Tweeter -- looks like Mets fans are unhappy that Sandy Alderson didn't make a play for Callaspo given Wright's recent diagnosis:
Matthew Cerrone: The Mets should have had interest in Callaspo, especially in light of recent news about David Wright. I don’t know if they were, or if they tried to get him, but he fits them well. His a switch hitter that is skilled at putting the ball play, with a really good glove, who has a history of league-average production. He’s hardly an All-Star, but a good, infield guy for the bench who has been around the block before and can be called upon to start every-day for a long stretches if needed. Again, I have no idea if Sandy Alderson had interest, but he should have…

Dodgers will certainly DFA him

That may be the hold-up, Callaspo may know or suspect that he's only going to make the cash not too much from one side.

Secret 3 way trade? Where really we trade Callapso for 3 Met prospects who are traded for Uribe and an awesome DOdgers prospect
I wish there was a wishful thinking emoticon.

He's going to get released either way.

That's likely. Might as well make yourself look cooperative. If you scuttle a trade and then get released it might hurt his prospects on the open market. If he accepts a trade and is released, he's still a free agent but one that looks easier to work with.

Yea, but that doesn't give him incentive to help both teams out that will release him.

Maybe he'll think about that since him and Uribe share agents. Time will tell.

Maybe the hold up is he wants one game so he can get the ring. If the Dodgers win?

I can understand that a trade of that magnitude would be hard to get moving.

Probably Callaspo refusing to be traded. I will not miss him when he's gone whether by trade or release.
Personally, if I'm Hart and Callaspo refused the trade, I'd wait until the middle of June when I can trade him without his consent, offer to pick up his entire salary, and send him off to the worst destination I can think of. Find where he doesn't want to go and send him there.
