Why did you guys make the trade?
 
"Each GM involved needs to post a reply confirming the trade they agreed to is what’s stated in the thread. They also need to state the reasoning behind the trade for your organization; if you were the GM and on your local sports talk show giving an interview, what would you say? This will help the trade committee understand why the trade should be approved, especially for those who are unfamiliar with the players involved"

This is according to the Posting Format.
 
Phillies I see you put in that you are looking at filling in Howard's spot but nothing from the Mets.  We are asked to do this to make sure the trades are fair and give some reasoning as to why the trade committee should approve of the trade.

i did post why i just didnt make it a new reply. honestly i only did this because howard is going to be out, if howard wasnt injured there would be no trade.

Yes, I acknowledged that in the previous post.  Thank you.  I was trying to make everyone aware and hopeful the Mets would post their response so Kenny or Shelby can move it to the Trade Committee.

The point is WHY would any sane Mets GM trade away a MLB Utility Infielder
for 3 yrs for 2 low probability of making it to the Majors Minor League Pitchers
who have been there several yrs !?

cosart is a top 50 prospect in the mlb and the 2nd best phillies prospect.

A Google "Search" shows that Jarred Cosart was traded by the Phils midway
through the season in 2011 to Houston . I think I recall he has been in the
Minors 3 yrs .  It almost seems by "Veteran's" ( initial ) Response that he is
doing this as a personal favor to you !?
