The timing of the Duaner Sanchez release is unusual, the Mets had another week before the next installment was due. Wouldn't it have made sense to use that time to see if he came around, especially after the manager and pitching coach went to bat for him publically just the day...

Some quick notes:
The Bucs are [reportedly still pursuing reliever Will Ohman]. That’s good to see, because our bullpen is likely going to be a huge mess. Ohman would add a nice lefty presence and is a very credible middle reliever. He’d be a much better last-minute addition...
