Nothing like setting fire to nearly 40 million dollars.
That should be the end for him.

Pujols last year?IMHO at one point in his career he was arguably considered a potential HoFer. When was the last time a guy like that was DFAed?
Alex Rodriguez, Rickey Henderson (played for three more seasons after that), Phil Niekro (twice), Gaylord Perry (twice) - it's not that unusual.IMHO at one point in his career he was arguably considered a potential HoFer. When was the last time a guy like that was DFAed?
Not totally unexpected.
That trade was a disaster for the Mets.
As I Mets fan I agree. Hated the trade at the time, but with Diaz regaining his form and Kelenic not developing into much so far, it doesn't look as bad.Kelenic needs to do something before we say that. His MLB career OPS is hovering around .600 and he's been disappointing this season.
Not a good trade, but terming it a disaster is a bit strong as things stand now. Diaz is a very good reliever.
