Sometimes after a deal is done in baseball, it's real obvious why. Other times, you are left just hoping your team knows something that you don't. I know Milledge's value does not appear to be what it once was, but trading him for a 29-year old mediocre OF and a catcher who can't hit a lick?
I can only hope of one of two things:
1) As Cerrone from Metsblog suggested, it's plausible that the A's, Twins and Orioles would prefer Church in a deal, and the Mets have continually insisted that landing a front-line starter is their #1 goal
2) Milledge will be named in the Mitchell Report
Outside of these two possibilities, I have no explanation for this trade. Omar if you're reading, feel free to explain.
