New York Mets 2012 Banter

What am I missing with the Pagan trade? Is it purely a salary dump? Pagan doesn't make that much, does he? Definitely doesn't seem like we're getting the same talent back.

Reports are that he quit on the team in September.
Management and the front office felt he was faking injuries, most notably his dehydration issue.
I don't know what the #'s are, but can't imagine Pagan was making that much $.
He is a 4th outfielder at best, on a decent team.

Didn't realize that he quit in September. I think I quit on them in July or August, so I guess I missed it.

And yes on a decent team, he doesn't start. However on the Mets this year, he'd probably be #1 if Bay doesn't bounce back at some point.
