For years, nobody has been able to understand why the Mets traded Scott Kazmir for Victor Zambrano. The trade defies all logic and reason. Fittingly, BBTF commenter Srul Itza has finally come up with an appropriate explanation:
Maybe nobody on the Mets approved the trade. Somebody on the Rays called up as a joke and said they were confirming the trade of Kazmir for Zambrano. Since the organization is so disfunctional, everybody just assumed that somebody else with authority had approved the trade, and they said okay, and shipped Kazmir off -- and they have been trying to explain it ever since.
Frankly, that seems a lot more rational to me than believing that anybody on the Mets thought the trade was a good idea.
