I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this nugget on RotoWorld:
The Seattle Post Intelligencer reports that the Rockies were “shocked” when the Mariners asked for both Dexter Fowler and Casey Weathers in exchange for Jarrod Washburn. No wonder the Yankees backed out of the rumored deal for Washburn. The newspaper also notes that the Mariners asked for “Jon Niese and/or Fernando Martinez or another top prospect” from the Mets, which is even more laughable.
Laughable indeed. It is hard to imagine a more insulting demand. These guys are supposed to be pros?

Well the Mets did give away Kazmir for Victor Zambrano. Hehehe
But yea, the M’s front office is incredibly stupid.

I laughed as well. But how does this compare to the Rockies asking for Clay Buchholz in return for Fuentes?!
