I've been looking at #'s for 30 minutes now, trying to figure out how the hell Omar could justify this trade. And I got nothing.

Sure Schneider is a defensive upgrade over Castro/Estrada (whose as good as gone now), but he can't hit a lick. Church and Milledge are essentially the same player now. However, Milledge is much much younger. Church is almost 30 already.

What am I missing?

Milledge is a clubhouse cancer ldo. Plus he didn't know how many outs there were in the final game of the season. And he's got a rap label and his name is kinda hard to say.

I feel for you Met fans, this is simply a brutal trade. Not only is it clearly not in the Mets' favor, but Lastings is going to be a National for at least 4 years, taunting the Mets with every home run he hits.
