I thought this was a great point by Mark Allen Haverty of Sporting News:

A lifelong Met fan, Professor Lichtman said something to me about the Mets that put the trading of Scott Kazmir in a very different light. As he put it bluntly, trading Kazmir might have been the best thing the Mets could have done for their system.

We lost a few of you there, didn"t we?

He elaborated by saying that the Kazmir trade was so catastrophically bad that the pressure on the Mets to never make another trade like that one has been magnified to a great degree.
